Interesting. New to me, but I enjoy the movies.

Hi TVTA, this would be a good game to wile away a few hours or to monkey around playing (sorry, I didn’t get a new joke book for Christmas!) To make up for my bad joke, there was a another “escape” themed game….Star Wars Escape from Death Star game. That was pretty cool too but didn’t have the interactive prop on the middle of the board.

I remember Escape from Death Star with the X-Wing and Tie Fighter graphics on the box cover. I have The Adventures of R2-D2 game but it’s missing the spinner and one R2. Cool graphics on both the box and playing board for that one.

That’s the game, yes! I loved playing that. If you’d like I could look up the R2 game and see if I can model some 3D parts to replace the missing ones. I’d have to send you the computer files to load into a 3D printer as I don’t have one but it might be possible.

Cheers mate. I need to dig it out from my storage boxes and find out what’s missing exactly. A good opportunity for a few photos at the same time to put up on the blog… I remember the graphics were so cool.

Hi again, I just had a quick image search and the spinner is basically just a normal “Clock Hand” arrow spinner, the box it is mounted to would be the problem. And the playing tokens are just round discs with a groove to slot a folded cardboard Artoo cutout into, I’ll try and come up with some models for the disc bases and maybe embossed plates to slot into them.

Hadn’t seen it before either. It looks an interesting game being the last survivor to avoid the trap cage.
