"Mall Madness", the shopping boardgame to end all shopping boardgames! Below are a few shots of the classic teen shopping game, along with a few others you may or may not have ever heard of. After many requests, I figured I'd finally post this. For I've found (like the siren call of the shopping mall) resitance is futile.
Back in the '80s my younger sister, a rabid teen shopaholic (the exact demographic Milton Bradley was targeting), forced my two brothers and I to play this game with her more times than I care to admit, so I got to know it quite well--for better or worse. Mall Madness was a "talking" game that played very annoying (to me and my brothers anyway) audio clips throughout a game.
I so clearly remember that monotonous "choong-choong!" sound the cash register made over and over and over, and the soothing female robotic mall "speaker" announcements: "there's a sale at the FASHION BOUTIQUE". To this day, on occasion, my brothers and I still maniacally blurt out lines from the game that drove us nuts: "Wooowee! Lines' too long! Try again later!". Trust me, once it gets inside your head, it's all over for you.
I had Bargain Hunter, up until a few months ago when my Mom moved and cleared out her basement. Oh well.
My friend bought the 90s versian of Mall Madness at a Thirft Store a few yrs back. There we were in our early 20s playing the game as two ten yrs old.
hey! me and my sister used to play mall madness a lot when we were younger. i can do a mean impression of pretty much any voice on the talking box. and the quote is actually, if i remember correctly, "ooooh long line...try again later!"
