Atmosfear - DVD Game

Product Information

The video stars the host of the game, who appears throughout the tape giving instructions to players. Here in Australia it is already selling above industry predictions, and within months of it release, it has become one of the top ten best selling games in America and is the only new game currently in the UK top ten. Phillip Tanner and Brett Clements met in 1982 and a year later they both set up their own television production company, A Couple 'A Cowboys.

They spent two years playing and testing Nightmare before making a pilot and taking it to Roadshow Entertainment, Australia's biggest distributor of video product . It’s hard to imagine now, in the age of DVD and next-gen console gaming, how exciting the idea of an interactive VHS boardgame was back then. Atmosfear (previously known as Nightmare in certain regions) is an Australian [1] [2] horror video board game series released in 1991 by Phillip Tanner and Brett Clements. Each time he appeared on screen, he’d address a certain player, usually the person whose turn it was, and demand a response: “Yes, my Gatekeeper. The game had an hour limit (the length of the tape) and there was a timer on screen to count down the seconds.Each expansion came with a new tape and new time and fate cards, with a different character hosting each new tape. Village Roadshow was also involved with the game's development and with its release in the United States.

Each of you picked a character – you could be a werewolf, a witch, a vampire, a zombie, a poltergeist, or a mummy – and a number.

Maybe the most significant change is that when a player wins the game, they can use the remote control to trigger a clip of the Gatekeeper wailing in defeat, a more satisfying victory than just turning the video off when you’d won.

At the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con, A Couple 'A Cowboys and Hijynx Toys announced a forthcoming relaunch of the series for 2019.If one person refuses to do something the Gatekeeper asks them to, the whole illusion of the game is shattered. In fact the next Atmosfear video board game will feature these gruesome boys and will be titled The Soul Rangers.

The board part of the game was pretty straightforward, a sort of monster-flavoured cross between Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly.
