Shot97 | The Game Of Life - Board Game - Retro Goodness @Shot97 | Uploaded September 2017 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Looking at three generations worth of the Milton Bradley board game, the Game of Life. We have the original from 1960, a polished version from 1977, and a special Simpson's edition from 2004. Go into some memories, some history, and I even play an entire game with the spiritual help from my friend Stygian Phoenix.
