Ep. 203: Tornado Rex Board Game Review (Parker Brothers 1991) + How To Play 

Damn that brought me back to a kid.again I LOVED that game I've been hoping they would release again so I could play with my kids! Thanks for the flashback

In the 90s we found that at a garage sale for 2 bucks and thought it was the weirdest, most obscure game we ever saw. We had a blast with it.

"Tornado Rex get ready for the Ride..."

This Game is in fact VERY rare, which is probably why it goes for such high prices. Apparently there were MAJOR manufacturing issues with the Mechanism at the time which caused massive distribution problems. It was also priced incorrectly (under-priced) by mistake in the Marketing, which meant they lost a great deal of money on it; as a consequence, it was only on the Market a VERY short time. Also, people may be interested to know that there were in fact TWO versions of this Game; one using Cards as shown in this Video - the other using Dice. One is even rarer than the other!!

I picked this up at a thrift shop for a couple bucks, was tickled pink that it was in near perfect condition with all pieces. My son loves it!

Looks fun! Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the video! I just rebought this game on eBay and despite the high price tag, it was absolutely worth it. It's just as fun as I remembered it being when I was a kid. The ever-changing unpredictability of Tornado Rex's path as he spirals down the mountain makes it immensely repayable. I'm so happy to own it again.

Thanks for the review. This is one of the very first games I designed with BMT!

My siblings and I used to love this game, we miss it so much! Funnily enough, we got rid of ours ( wish we hadn't) because the mechanism was broken and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, pretty sure I remember the board being cracked too...

Tornado Rex looks like the Tazmanian Devil. And the movements are similar to Sorry.

If Restoration Games ever does a revamping facelift of this, I could really see them keeping the flip and move mechanic of the explorers and yet turning the premise into an interesting horse-race variation bidding game where you're bidding on which color explorers make it to the lookout post first with the top as a knock down factor. There could be many different types of bidding. A few examples could not only be who makes it first, but who makes it second or third, who makes it to a certain spot on the gameboard, or who is able to find the most gems or treasure on their way to the top.

I just had to verify if it actually made the noise that it made in Board James... and so it does!

There's a scooby doo game very similar to this and it's really fun

WHOA!!Ygot Ten Grand Suscribers Dude!!😃Cheers to ya!🍾🎉🎊🥂🍸🍹🥃🍻🍺

Yo Norm it's Vin ☺️ Don't you have a strategy game that starts with the letter R ? I forget

The Kentucky Derby starring Tornado Rex 😄

Oh! You know what I wanted to ask you? Where did you send your Dark Tower tower to get fixed? How do you do that, do you recommend a good person to repair it and any other advice on what to do☺️ Thanks Norm sincerely Vince

Quanti ricordi,lo cerco da anni ma non lo trovo più in vendita😢

Looks so much fun, even if Tornado Rex himself does look like a green knock off of Taz from Looney Tunes

Games worth a pretty penny also !

How you been

It's a small game quick strategy game. I looked through all your videos and I couldn't find it

Better physics than fallout 76

Really cool game, but I hate how expensive it is on eBay, it's literally impossible to find one below $100, better off finding it at a thrift store.

"Tornado Rex being sold for hundreds of dollars" because of course it's being sold for hundreds of dollars. Gawd I'm tired of everything I grew up playing with as a kid, all of my toys, now being resold for hundreds of dollars. Everything. Every time I hear about something from when I was a kid, if ever I'm like "oh I remember that. I'd like to get that again" 500 dollars ... DAMMIT!

Looks like a bootleg Tasmanian Devil.
