That would attract the crowd who might want to get their kids involved in the version of the game they at one time played as a kid.<br /><br />Sure what we have here is a box set but it's an obvious attempt to market to and manipulate on a sense of nostalgia only to find a shadow of the former game. Someday they may get it right and see the light of the treasure they really have but this just seems like a marketing committee's last gasp.bliss_infintehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733609487959653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6435656792946778359.post-88703570452993624172010-09-11T12:14:49.713-07:002010-09-11T12:14:49.713-07:00Or the S&W white box, but yeah.
