If you have access to any of the Shop-At-Home catalogs, what they show you there is pretty much it. One of (...) (26 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.reviews)

A great review of a great set! I got one on sale for the equivalent of $40 US ($60 Cdn). I can't wait to get paid and buy a few more so I can get working on a big Adventure project -- and now that I think about it, having another one of those beige (...)

The dark temple of Set lays nestled in an overlooked hollow of the valley of Karnak. Desecrated by thieves some thousand years before Christ, something was awakened during the break-in.

I couldn't agree more with your two stud rating on this one Joseph. But, as usual your review was an eight stud piece with an even more exciting opener. Keep these coming Joseph.
