I remember watching the vhs with my family like 25 years ago and when he asks if we were ready we all yelled “NO” and then cracked up really hard when he says “GOOD” 😂
OMG, I'm so glad I'm not alone in this 😅 Keith David picture with the characters he played came on my time line and I was like, 'Oh yeah I remember the Gargoyles, let me see if that video tape game is still horrifying after all these years." 😂 For me, yes, it's still a bit horrifying to me.

In every standard board games, your opponents are your friends. In this board game, your friends are not your opponents. Instead, you're working together with your friends, and your opponents are Xanatos and the clock.
That countdown has haunted me for years....and its hilarious that the "movie trailer guy" reads the instructions. I want all game instructions read by this guy.
I remember seeing him on a Geico commercial and he looked so not what I expected him to look like and I remember this same guy did trailer announces for so many movies and he made people actually want to see movies even if they were bad LOL sadly he passed away I heard back in 2008
Two things about the background track playing in most of this game; it was also used in Brothers Garcia during the camping episode. Second thing is an opinion.... it kind of feels like it could be music from Resident Evil Director's Cut.
When I was really young and I saw this after the movie and got freaked out. Like I didn’t understand the game and the timer scared the hell outta me lol. The random lightning strikes didn’t help me either lol
Good old memories. Loved Gargoyles growing up. Still solid series that has aged beautifully over the years. 1st thing I watched when DisneyPlus was released.
16:21 "The player who just spun must now pick up a Demona Card _and do what it says..._ " has been a nightmare hiding in my brain for almost thirty years XDD
The musical pieces heard throughout the game all came from the same album. (MX002 Drama Plus Vol. 1) "Wait Until Dark" "Poltergeist" "Nocturnal Bells" "Criminal Intent" The only musical piece that was not on the album is the music heard when Don LaFontaine gives instructions on how to play the game.
It's not Xanatos I'm worried about. It's Demona who's the real problem. In fact, if you'd like to know the truth, I don't think we'll ever have to worry about Xanatos again, especially now that he has a wife and son.
I played this game YEARS ago as a kid and today a woman in my town was selling the board game on Facebook Marketplace for $5 so I bought it. Don't have a VCR so I came here to watch it. I COMPLETELY DIDN'T REALIZE RIKER AND TROI WAS ON THIS SERIES TOO.
I had this game! Sadly my older sister only had enough patience to play with me once and my cousins weren't hearing any of it when we had Sega games to play lol
Haven't watched this since the 90's. Still remember the how it all looks though. I used to be scared of this game cause my family would all keep dying. Dark music the whole way through, not a very bright and hopeful game for a child even though I loved gargoyles
This was cool. I wish I had it but I never did. If I had the pieces to this VCR Board game, I'd try to store them in some Ziploc bags so that I will NOT lose them. I'd even put the board game somewhere safe where I cannot lose it.
I used to have this. I still have the tape, but I lost all the game pieces. Ah the nostaligia, and my older brother recently picked up a Gargoyles board game called Gargoyles Awakening.
Man this brings back so many memories I think I actually lost the board game when I got the VHS Still it was cool to watch this after the movie was finished Looking at the animated backgrounds and listening to that sinister music
So even if you said the words and you were wine the tape and do exactly as it said at the end would you win or are you just going to lose every time this thing plays cuz I never did that?
I remember watching the vhs with my family like 25 years ago and when he asks if we were ready we all yelled “NO” and then cracked up really hard when he says “GOOD” 😂
rw:now thats comedy ^_^
I looked this up to see if it was as horrifying as I remembered it from 30 years ago and reader it was.
Bro it was the funniest and scariest thing as a four-year-old I miss that time
OMG, I'm so glad I'm not alone in this 😅 Keith David picture with the characters he played came on my time line and I was like, 'Oh yeah I remember the Gargoyles, let me see if that video tape game is still horrifying after all these years." 😂
For me, yes, it's still a bit horrifying to me.
@@d335591 I guess that makes... *counts the comments* four of us XD
As someone who only saw ads for this, It's neat to finally see the VHS part of it.
I had this VHS as a kid, but not the game. I would just watch this just to watch it, like I'm doing now.
Same!

@@shutterbug_713 Oh.
Man. Something about seeing those old backgrounds, even with the music, it's kind of cozy.
This game scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
I'm very sorry to hear that.
Brings back memories. I just remembered thaf me and mg sibs played this and reached the Eyrie Bldg, we were wondering why the steel clan is still activated. Later on we realized we just have to stop the tape. Lols
I still have the board game but dont have a VCR. Thanks for much for uploading this!
good to see i wasn't the only one traumatized by this fucking tape lmao
This tape had the coolest and creepiest atmospheric music. Whoever composed that fucking nailed it.
The music during the countdown screen used to scare me 😂

To be 4 years old again
Good old memories. Loved Gargoyles growing up. Still solid series that has aged beautifully over the years. 1st thing I watched when DisneyPlus was released.
Me too. I love hearing Keith David as Goliath especially Spawn.
This was my jam when I was a kid but the lightning strikes scared me and the music gave me anxiety.
What a beautiful trip down memory lane. Thank you for uploading this :)
The only way to win this is that once you made it all the way to the building, press stop.
16:21 "The player who just spun must now pick up a Demona Card _and do what it says..._ " has been a nightmare hiding in my brain for almost thirty years XDD
If you could copy this onto a DVD, the magic words are "Orday Replayum Discus!"
0:29 the New York Twin Towers at the left.. 😢😢

"Xanatos has won and the Gargoyles are doomed" Meanwhile stock footage shows said Gargoyles owning the robots
It's not Xanatos I'm worried about. It's Demona who's the real problem. In fact, if you'd like to know the truth, I don't think we'll ever have to worry about Xanatos again, especially now that he has a wife and son.
@@garfieldthecat6889 Incorrect. The new comics show that Xanatos is still very much plotting and intends to use the gargoyles for his own plans.
@@muigokublack6487 Uh-oh.
rw:this tv board game was the one that had the 1st jumpscares i ever had when i was a kid. 😦😧😨😰😥😱😖😣
I remember seeing the commercial for this but never got the game. Kind of cool.
I played this game YEARS ago as a kid and today a woman in my town was selling the board game on Facebook Marketplace for $5 so I bought it. Don't have a VCR so I came here to watch it. I COMPLETELY DIDN'T REALIZE RIKER AND TROI WAS ON THIS SERIES TOO.
And Data, O'Brien, Geordi, and captain Janeway. lol
Oh my god, I thought this was a fever dream I had as a child while sick with the chicken pox, holy fuck
My brother had those too.
i remember that movie i got gargoyles the movie and the board game along with it and my family and i can’t wait to play it
See, Potter fans might have Expecto Patronum...but Gargoyles beat you to it with ORDAY REWINDUM TAPUS!
sinisterLMN I prefer Deflagrate muri tempi et intervallia!
Indeed, the Phoenix Gate is pretty darn powerful 👍
@@user-si3gu8pm6j What does Orday Rewindum Tapus mean?
@@garfieldthecat6889 it means rewind the tape to the beginning of the game and start again.
@@josephhopkins6513 Oh.
I remember seeing this back in the vhs movie didn’t understand it back then so it was a board game never knew that
This would be excellent background music for a horror game.
I loved playing this as a kid.

I had this game! Sadly my older sister only had enough patience to play with me once and my cousins weren't hearing any of it when we had Sega games to play lol
This is some dark 90s nightmare fuel
thank you ms salli richardson elisa maza herself.
1:18 Jonathan Frakes' Evil Laugh.
It's Frakes, dude, not Franks.
21:32 onward is scary. 😨
I had this... but even though we had the board, we didn't have ANYTHING else, and I honestly don't know why. Me and my brother were so confused.
dammit demona was also a gifted sorcery adept. forgot that detail.
Haven't watched this since the 90's. Still remember the how it all looks though. I used to be scared of this game cause my family would all keep dying. Dark music the whole way through, not a very bright and hopeful game for a child even though I loved gargoyles
This was cool. I wish I had it but I never did. If I had the pieces to this VCR Board game, I'd try to store them in some Ziploc bags so that I will NOT lose them. I'd even put the board game somewhere safe where I cannot lose it.
Literally the scariest board game ever created 👁👄👁
The beginning of my anxiety as a kid
I used to have this. I still have the tape, but I lost all the game pieces. Ah the nostaligia, and my older brother recently picked up a Gargoyles board game called Gargoyles Awakening.
I never even heard of this board game but I love the show
Brilliant
jonathan'riker' frakes, actor director as xanatos.
20:55 is when the buzzer beeps.
I didn’t realize this was just a scary version of candy land lol
Or a kid version of Nightmare
I miss playing this game as a,kid
Now what happens if you won? Would there be another scene that plays showing a good ending?
You just have to stop the tape.
Who puts a board game on a VHS tape
I always wondered who's the Voice actor of Xanatos
Is there anyone who's actually won at this game??
ME! All ya do is stop the video! Plus since it was after Demona froze my niece Ana, ergo, me victory unfroze her!
0:30 Like Chutes and Ladders
Man this brings back so many memories
I think I actually lost the board game when I got the VHS
Still it was cool to watch this after the movie was finished
Looking at the animated backgrounds and listening to that sinister music
Holy crap I remember this.....
Nostalgic 😍
Don LaFontaine provided the narration in this video
He also provided the narration in a lot of movie trailers.
don ĺa fontaine ultimate voice over. he is missed.
Is it possible to win this game? Where's the victory cut scene?
The victory scene is UP 2 U, once you get 2 Xanatos' buildin, just stop the show to win the game.
So even if you said the words and you were wine the tape and do exactly as it said at the end would you win or are you just going to lose every time this thing plays cuz I never did that?
Once U git 2 Xanatos' building, U stop the video.
Is this a Disney Interactive Board Game?
It's an interactive VCR board game.
Icy!
I lost the borad Game
Even myself that I also had lost most of the pieces for the game.
is it even real
Yes
Thank you
steel clan?! really.?!
Because their robots.
@@bigevil1001 the ones they used on oberon were stronger.
