Quest for the Rings (Odyssey2)

[Mind Master]

Any Quest for the Rings owners (or former owners) out there? My childhood friend had it. I'm wondering if anybody used the boardgame part of it more than once.

 

I always wanted to see a Quest for the Rings for the VCS/2600.

I have it...I've never played it though...I really should try it out at least once.

I used to have that game, but got rid of it in '88. It's a good game.

 

If somebody does make a 2600 Quest for the Rings they should try to use the Keyboard (video touch pad)/Joystick combonation, like they did on Star Raiders.

I have just the cart. Really haven't tried it out either. If I had the board and instructions I am sure I would give it a go.

I tried a search on several search engines and found only these sites:

 

This site has the instructions:

This one is the instructions, with the pictures from the book. Click on the "rules/questfortherings/index.htm" thing at the bottom of page:

The "Game Components" page has VERY SMALL pictures of the overlay and board.

 

When I had the game, I didn't have the overlay. So I had to look at the picture in the book and sort of eyeball what button on the keyboard was used.

Back when this game was actually current my friend Lee had it (his parents bought him the Oddysey because the keyboard made it educational. Oh well.

 

We actually used the board game part a whole bunch of times, maybe 50% of the time. And this is one of the better Oddysey games so we certainly played this one.
