NIGHTMARE/ATMOSFEAR Part 1 and 2 - VHS Board game review from the 1990s!
<p>NIGHTMARE ! - the video board game. mention those words in the Mid 1990s and pretty much everyone would know what you were talking about. Nightmare was an epic video board game back in 1991 that spawned 3 sequels and various reboots. In this video, I discuss a few things about NIGHTMARE part 1 featuring the infamous 'Gatekeeper' and Nightmare 2- Baron Samedi- The Zombie. These games have a place in everyone memory if you grew up in the early to mid 90s, as if you cant remember the catch cry "YES MY GATEKEEPER!" hahaI thought it would be fun to take a look at the first two parts of the series and discuss what i liked and didn't like about them. I often think to myself, what if this type of game was released in todays era? I know that they created a reboot of Atmosfear using an app etc, but i just feel that having an actual guy on a screen scream at you and who isn't CG is a bit more frightening. The actors who play The gate Keeper and Baron Samedi are actually really good. As always, if you enjoyed the vid, leave a like, comment about what you thought of the games below, and if you want to stay up to date with my uploads hit the subscribe button. Until next time on Daska Discusses! BOOM!</p>
