<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 592572, member: 8267"]2Many's partner here, modern board game player, modest collector of games. So Milton Bradley ruled the game shelves of toy stores in the 1950s, and made a lot of movie & TV show tie-ins for the huge baby-boom demographic. Board Game Geek is the best website for info on modern games, and their database includes many vintage games as well. They show Milton Bradley games from the '50s based on shows like The Rifleman, Shotgun Slade, Sergeant Preston, even Rocky & Bulwinkle. They do NOT have this game, so I suspect it was produced in small quantities, probably what we call a 're-theme', just changing an existing game to match the characters of the movie, and only on the shelves for a few months. Since much of the BGG database is provided by its users, and uploading of unlisted games is incentivized, this means none of thousands of participants have ever seen this - so it's pretty scarce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
