Fireball Island, where are you? This old board game by Milton Bradley is calling to me. The sound of gurgling lava and exotic birds can almost be heard as I gaze upon these images. The burning desire to play this game is a strange and sudden compulsion that is hard to comprehend. Here's a commercial for Fireball Island, circa 1992.
Vintage copies on eBay go for $80 to $200. Perhaps that's part of the allure, that funky old and hard to find yearning, the hunt for the rare treasures of yesterday. Ooh yes, some day ... Some day Fireball Island will be mine!
