Title: Slightly OT: Atmosfear and Nightmare VCR games Post by: Brock on May 28, 2001, 03:43:01 PM Anyone remember these?
There was a series of horror video board games released in the early to mid 90's. The original was "Nightmare," then there were a bunch of expansions to that, and then there was the sequel "Atmosfear: The Harbingers." These things were hilarious, interactive bad movies you got to play along with. I just found Harbingers at a goodwill and played it with some friends, and let me tell you, those things were great. It's narrated/controlled by the Gatekeeper, an anoying guy who kind of reminds me of the Emperor from Star Wars. Anyway, long story short, I'm looking for the other ones. If anyone has the expansion for Harbingers or has the original and some of the expansions, please let me know. I am looking to get as many of them as possible. I figure this is the kind of thing bad movie fans might have lying around. Also, if anyone else remembers these, cares to comment on them, review them, etc, please go ahead. I'd love to hear someone else's opinion on them.

Does anybody remember the video/toy called "Captain Power" or something. You put in a video and pointed your spaceship at the screen while pulling a trigger or something. I never understood how that worked either. Title: Re: Slightly OT: Atmosfear and Nightmare VCR games Post by: Scott Davis on May 28, 2001, 09:40:15 PM I had the Captian Power toys and videos!
Those rocked. Infact I think I have 2 of the videos. A video came with each light gun/fighter jet. Whenever I get really really bored, I might bust out the jet and throw in the video. I don't quite understand the inner workings myself, but I think its based on light waves, and the frequency that they pulsate on the tv screen.

I used to play Nightmare(i think that was the name) when i was in 5th grade. And then i think i bought the Harbingers when i was 7th grade. I loved playing as Elisabeth Bathory(?) the vampire chick. It's been so long since i pulled those games out and i just moved a couple of months ago, so i don't even know where they are.
