A failed commemorative edition
If your going to plug your game as sporting "the original 1962 artwork", then, by golly, it should have the original artwork without deviation. The graphics should have (1) the same fonts and (2) the same colors as the original, ça non!?? In this, Winning Moves has come up short.
I should have believed the colors on the box instead of my own knowledge of the classic design. The green in the safety cards is way too dark, but– even worse–Hasbro/Winning Moves replaced the turquoise blue elements with a bland lavender. Sacrilege!!
And what did they use for fonts in the safety cards? Ariel?? BEURK!!
Perhaps The original metal typesetting equipment has been lost to time? However, with offset printing In this day and age of computer graphics, even in the late 90s, a closer facsimile was certainly within reach.
My last complaint is the car-shaped card tray is a disgrace. It's made out of flimsy boxing plastic. It's so thin, you can see through it in spots!! An egg crate is stronger! So whatever you do, don't sit on it.
These detours are so annoying, I just had to give the game away to stop being reminded of Hasbro/Winning Move's desecration of this cherished game.
