King Kong Board Game (1976)

King Kong Board Game (1976)

I bought the game from a jumble sale sometime in the 80s. It's not much fun to play, but it's an interesting piece of vintage tat that I'm getting rid of, now preserved for posterity. The copyright info + box art show it to be related to the De Laurentiis Movie (1976–86) directed by John Guillermin. You can find a review of that on my main blog HERE.

Mr T

Mr T

I know Mr T from only four things: Clubber Lang in Rocky III (1982); B.A. Baracus in The A-Team TV Series; and as himself in a motivational exercise video and a TV snack bar advert. I've not followed his career, nor am I aware of any scandals or wrongdoings that he may have been involved in (if any such things exist). My respect for Mr T is derived from either the characters he played and/or what they represented. That's what earns him a page all of his own.

The Mobile Armored Strike Kommand: FaCK was a licenced product by Pic Toys Ltd in the UK. I don't know if it was available in other territories; there's very little information about it on the web. My info comes from having been given it at Xmas as a child sometime in the mid-1980s.
