	As I noted in the archived comments, games are often sold under different names in different countries and there may be games that fit these blanks that I don't know about, so please feel free to suggest alternate answers and I'll try to act on them as I can.

	Mastermind is one word at least in America. I realize the original may not be, but it is now known that way, and thus never occurred to me... See: http://www.amazon.com/Pressman-Toy-3018-06B-Mastermind/dp/B00000DMBF

	@clapifyoulikeme: Master Mind is actually two words on the cover of the original box: http://untzuntz.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/mastermind1.jpg?w=500

	clapifyoulikeme:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 04:51 GMT		3 points
	@Hejman Yes, I know--but who plays the original game? It's clearly known as Mastermind now, and all of the special editions use the one word format. You're asking for a game that is no longer being made. I liked the quiz, gave it five globes, but that clue doesn't work with the others.

	Hejman:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 05:03 GMT		5 points
	You can still buy the game in that box, actually. I'd agree with you completely if not for the fact that a third of the quiz takers are getting the answer correct, more than five other answers at the moment.

	clapifyoulikeme:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 05:18 GMT		1 point
	Fair enough, although there are plenty of times I get stuff right by typing in essentially random words... Also, where can you buy it? I want one; that's awesome.

	On Amazon, in fact, "Original Master Mind" http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B000KL44BU/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0

	Sorry - haven't heard of over 1/2 these games.

	zoeadele:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 07:12 GMT		2 points
	Bit embarassed that I tried 'Master Blaster'..you know that well known er game that Stevie Wonder played.

	I was almost shocked when Dark turned out to be right for Tower. I didn't know there were many others who had actually heard of the game, but I loved it! Still have a rather sorry looking, but functional, version of it that my kids enjoy. It must be 30 years old.

	Hejman, the only one I can think of is I believe there is a version of "Chutes and Ladders" called "Snakes and Ladders"

	Hejman:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 13:24 GMT		1 point
	@Tony_A- Snakes and ladders is already an accepted answer. Thanks!

	Pit_trout:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 15:21 GMT		4 points
	@Hejman: “Chinese Chess” (aka Xiangqi) is less widespread than Chinese Checkers, but also exists.

	I forgot the 's' on hippos. Duh!! And I had never heard of many of these games, but I was able to guess a few of them.

	Thanks, Pit_trout, I'll add that.

	Good guess for scotland yard on my part. Good variation of simple and difficult.

	doublea21:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 18:29 GMT		1 point
	good quiz, but I have never heard of Mastermind, Axis & Allies, 221b Baker street, Dark Tower, The Settler of Catan or (This game is) Bonkers, other than that it was fun!

	ezois:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 19:05 GMT		0 points
	I tried Blaster too, first.

	Hejman:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 19:07 GMT		1 point
	@doublea21- You're missing out on some great games! The original Milton Bradley Axis and Allies is now selling for much more than what I paid for it at Toys R Us in 1988, but Avalon Hill has a whole line of variations on it. Master Mind, 221B Baker Street, The Settlers of Catan and Bonkers are still in production. The Dark Tower was an electronic, role-playing board game that had a battleship-like peg system. The only place I could find a copy of it now was on E-bay and that one was selling for several hundred dollars. That value is increased because Milton Bradley ceased production in 1985 after losing a lawsuit that claimed they stole the idea for the game.

	@zoeadele - nice one, but I'll bet you weren't as embarrassed as I was for trying "bation"

	remskray:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 19:28 GMT		2 points
	ahh girl talk. the 90s at it's best...mall madness was by far the best though.

	Rayavi:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 01:41 GMT		3 points
	I have a copy of a game called Tumbling Tower. As the name implies, it's a Jenga knockoff. You don't have to make that an acceptable answer for _____ Tower, but you can if you want.

	Hejman:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 02:18 GMT		1 point
	A quick Google search shows that there's also a "Tumble Tower" and a "Jumble Tower." Time to add some alternates!

	TAR2:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 03:11 GMT		2 points
	Dark Tower! I still have mine too. Oh the hours we spent playing that! Look out, Brigands!

	jefe_:	Jun 19th, 2011 at 04:47 GMT		3 points
	Shouldn't the Ackbar bonus be triggered by "It's A" instead of "Trap"?

	Hejman:	Jun 20th, 2011 at 15:15 GMT		1 point
	@jefe- Yes. Yes it should. Fixed now!

	"Bonkers is fun. Bonkers is nice. Bonkers is never the same game twice!"

	12bball:	Jul 15th, 2011 at 13:23 GMT		3 points
	I'm glad you included The Settlers of Catan. That's one of my favorite games.

	PS90:	Aug 17th, 2011 at 00:00 GMT		1 point
	Is there an updated version of Dark Tower? I remember loving that game when I was about 8 years old.

	Hejman:	Aug 17th, 2011 at 14:18 GMT		1 point
	@PS90- Production of the Dark Tower game was ceased in 1985 after Milton Bradley lost an intellectual property lawsuit and had to pay about three-quarters of a million dollars in damages. I did a quick search on ebay and found working units ranging from $150 in poor condition to about $500 mint in the box.

	@Dr_Sweetcake Thanks for getting there ahead of me :)

	Bonkers, it's never the same game twice! Thanks for including that, I was beginning to think I dreamed that game up as a child...

	Braydenslv:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	If I'm not mistaken, Booby Trap should also be an answer.

	lenah1983:	Nov 17th, 2012 at 23:25 GMT		1 point
	I put in "shoots" instead of "chutes!"

	VTTennisguy:	Mar 25th, 2013 at 23:17 GMT		2 points
	FYI - there was a game called Masterpiece. It was an art auction game. I played it often.
