Originally released in 1995, this atmospheric horror-themed game combines traditional board game mechanics with a VHS video hosted by the terrifying Gatekeeper, creating a time-limited experience where the game itself actively challenges the players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers take on the roles of the six Harbingers and race around a modular board made up of six interchangeable Provinces. The aim is to collect six differently coloured Keystones before making it back home and attempting to stop the clock. Along the way, players must deal with Fate cards, Duel cards, Gates, Black Holes and the unpredictable instructions of the Gatekeeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VHS tape is an integral part of the experience rather than simply an accompanying extra. The Gatekeeper controls the pace of the game, issuing commands, penalties and challenges while the clock counts down. Players must also confront their own worst fears as part of the final attempt to win, making \u003cem\u003eAtmosfear: The Harbingers\u003c\/em\u003e a particularly memorable example of 1990s interactive board gaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 3–6 players aged 12 and over, games can run for up to approximately 60 minutes. With its combination of horror, strategy, dice rolling and interactive video, it remains an unusual and highly nostalgic addition to a vintage board game collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atmosfear: The Harbingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1995\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive VHS board game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 3–6 players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for ages 12+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying time up to approximately 60 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix-piece double-sided modular game board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive Gatekeeper VHS tape acts as the game's clock and host\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollect six coloured Keystones while surviving the challenges of The Other Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtmosfear collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage board game enthusiasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1990s nostalgia collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorror-themed game fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive game collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVHS collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFans of unusual and unconventional board games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCondition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWell Stored Condition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFantastic, very well stored condition.
