I had one back in the day. I suppose its somewhere in storage now. I'll have to look for it. It was kinda difficult to play though. The questions they asked were reeaaalllyyyy tough.

Excellent game. I used to play this a lot in the 80's - 90's etc. Probably can't find it now as that was a long time ago. Learnt a lot about our history. It's a pity that there were not many games about our local history though.

I got one for Christmas in either â€™88 or â€˜89. Was a real cool game to play, taught you about local history and culture. The box said the game was made in 1986, which would explain why lots of the questions were based in the â€˜70â€™sâ€¦.like who won Road march in 1979? Being children of the â€˜80s, we mostly had to ignore those kinda questions when playing.

I played it a while ago in house in Cascade...Jerry Besson/Paria publishing was behind it I fink. At least one of his sons is/was a member of tuner as I remember him being banned (or someone that could have been him).

I dont think it went into mass circulation for a few reasons...but once again I could be wrong.

In only 4 years...Have since realised that Bezman may have some info on this (and no he was not the banned one)...still no confirmation whether it was Paria Publishing or not (I have bought 'Tales of the Paria Main Road since then though) and would also like a copy/set if ever found

BTW, regarding OP not delivering- you do realise you are the 'OP'. So if you have not delivered to yourself there is nobody to blame but yourself.
