Dragon Strike

Anyone remember this Gem here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTNnYkJwSNU

It came with the Boardgame called Dragon Strike and it was just the best thing ever.

Re: Dragon Strike

I had it.  It was pretty cool, although I remember disliking how it was just the same four maps all the time (as opposed to Hero Quest, which had the same board but the map changed depending on the scenario).  And I thought the video was awesome when I was 10 or 11, though I strongly doubt I would think that now (in retrospect, I don't think it even actually added anything to the game, although it was featured fairly prominently in the one or two ads I saw).

Re: Dragon Strike

Dragon Strike and HeroQuest were my introductions into the world of rpgs.

My buddies and I combined the two games and home-brewed our own rule system until we all had jobs and enough money to buy actual game books.

Man those were some good times.

Re: Dragon Strike

I bought this game when it first came out and my daughter was about 6.  Thinking to use it in a few years to introduce her to RPGs.  I used the minis and layouts for variety, in the games I was DMing.  The VHS, for a sort while went into the rotation of fantasy based videos she watch when she spent weekends (DIVORCED) over at my place.  Along with the Rankin/Bass 'The Hobbit', Willow, Tom Cruise's 'Legend', Fire & Ice, The Princess Bride, Dragonslayer and others.  I still have the VHS in storage somewhere.

Any way, I ended up using the Warhammer Quest Game/Rules.  Set in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_Quest
Starting when she was 9, playing about ten time until the age of 12 when she out grew it.
