My brother and I would use it as a playset for so many of our other toys lol. Trolls, ninja turtles, transformers, etc... They all faced the FORBIDDEN bridge!
I had this commercial on my old Johnny Golden Quest Tape, this was one of my all time favourite board game commercials, I never got to play this game as a kid but seeing the commercial again opened further opened my nostalgic doors too this awesome commercial
0:00 Blögg: (in pride) Look, there it is! Giant Talking Stone Idol: (angrily while drooling out lava) Forbidden... Gonnigan: (in fear) Let's go back! Abby Cadabby: (in pride) No, let's get the jewels! Giant Talking Stone Idol: (angrily while drooling out lava) Forbidden. Blögg: (in shock) Waaaagh!
To this day I can still shout out IT'S FORBIDDEN when talking to some of my best childhood friends and the reference isn't missed.. classic commercial and game
I have an ODD story about this commercial/game...From the moment this commercial aired and STILL to THIS DAY (almost 2012!) ANY time I am with my friend Cathy and ANYONE says the word "Forbidden" we BOTH imitate the voice in this commercial and say "FORBIDDEN BRIDGE!!!" LOL, yea, we're lame and I have NO idea why we still remember this and say it like that after all these years!
All the thanks to James Rolfe for letting me know this game that I WISH I got to play as a kid in the 90s existed! I love the commercial just as much as how he incorporated it into Board James!
I love how the head gets more revved up each time it says "forbidden". Can you imagine if the ad was a whole minute long? He'd be losing his shit by then end of it.
If it was a minute long, the head would've become a giant stone golem spewing lava from its mouth while angrily shouting "FORBIDDEN!!!" and would've gone on a violent rampage throughout the world. THAT would've been something to see!
The awesome part was that you could use the bridge thing as a playset for your other figures. You could have the power rangers fight TMNT in Indiana Jones
A screaming demon possessed lava spewing golem head uses his unworldly powers to shake a bridge succeeding in killing two of the four explorers who ultimately fall to their death in the ommcercial. . 90's Kids game! Yay! No joke I loved this game as a kid.
@@Adamguy2003 The idol gets so angry that he was bested by advanced Human technology that he shifts into a giant stone golem and goes on a global rampage while shouting "FORBIDDEN!" repeatedly.
My friend always joked about the idol being a wimp. Like, "Forbidden. H-Hey, you, don't touch that. That's forbidden. Seriously, stealing is wrong. Aww, come onnn!"
Still got mine I loved this game. I remember my friends getting pretty pissed off after falling and loosing the jewel. I don't recall ever finishing a game. This was right up there with 13 Dead End Drive, The Grape Escape, and Domino Rally
@TheBookWorm1718 you can still find it on ebay. but good luck finding spare parts.. i'm missing the green explorer and his boat.. but it's still out there
I might be wrong, but the Golden statue sounds like he's voiced by Frank Welker. I mean he does sound a little bit like Dr. Claw from the original Inspector Gadget series.
The sensible thing to do would be to take a helicopter, land it, steal all the jewels and then use the copter to escape all without crossing the bridge. Angry Idol: D'oh!!! Stupid advanced Human technology!
Shame the smart "Hey you know... this bridge talks, let's go back." guy dies, and the jerk "No! We must desecrate their local Gods, culture, and women! Also let's get the jewels!" guy lives. Life isn't fair sometimes. Anyway, I don't remember liking the game all that much... It made a damn good "Final Battle" set-piece for my Ninja Turtles though.
It took me over 20 years of relentess gameplay, but now in my 30's i've finally discovered the secret to winning the game each & every time: Eliminate your rivals by not inviting them around to your house & don't touch the angry spirit's head. DON'T touch the angry spirit's head no matter what the dice tells you.
I had this game once, and it was fun but... like most games that come in so many assorted pieces, it got scattered about and the game became useless. Shae I had fun pretending to destroyt he idle
play "White Man's Burden", the game of Victorian-era British Imperialism where the goal is to loot the temples of other cultures! That having been said, I also owned this game. Fun times, the nineties were.
Will someone please tell me WHY the one guy thinks it is a good idea to "get the jewels" when there is a possesed temple screaming at you on the other side that it is forbidden?
The great thing about this game is it teaches you the consequences of grabbing other people's jewels.
What up dog, from almost 10 years in the future
Hahaha legend
My brother and I would use it as a playset for so many of our other toys lol. Trolls, ninja turtles, transformers, etc... They all faced the FORBIDDEN bridge!
This was my favorite board game growing up, i miss commercials and games like that.
Me too
Out now at Target!! New release!
Out now at Target!! A re-release in 2021, super fun!!
I'll need to look for that, assuming that doing so isn't FORBIDDEN!
This was at the top of my Christmas list in 1995. That was a good Christmas.
I had this commercial on my old Johnny Golden Quest Tape, this was one of my all time favourite board game commercials, I never got to play this game as a kid but seeing the commercial again opened further opened my nostalgic doors too this awesome commercial
I never had this game either, but it was a commercial on a TV recorded tape of Babar the elephant that I watched all the time. ♥️
I had the game it was loads of funny I just remember it randomly and looked up for a comercial for it and I ended up here.
I just recently re-purchased this since I loved it when I was young. It's still such a quick, fun playthrough. Plus, the presentation is top notch.
That has to be Frank Welker voicing the demonic statue.
The bridge is what again?.. I can never remeber the amount of accessibility I have to the bridge
Will Trooper FORBODEN.
Will Trooper
Foreboding? Forebearing?
Uh, foregoing?
...forehead?
I'm sure they mentioned it somewhere in the commercial.
It's verboten.
Forbidden Bridge: It's F-O-R-B-I-D-D-E-N spells FORBIDDEN!
*FORBIDDEN!*
*Sees a giant talking stone idol that's drooling lava on the far side of rickety rope bridge*
"Let's steal it's jewels!"
+Thoralmir Yeah, cause that makes the most logical sense right?
These guys just don't give a fuck.
Seems Legit!
0:00 Blögg: (in pride) Look, there it is!
Giant Talking Stone Idol: (angrily while drooling out lava) Forbidden...
Gonnigan: (in fear) Let's go back!
Abby Cadabby: (in pride) No, let's get the jewels!
Giant Talking Stone Idol: (angrily while drooling out lava) Forbidden.
Blögg: (in shock) Waaaagh!
FORBIDDEN!!!!!!!!
This game rocked. I spent a good part of my child hood playing this game.
To this day I can still shout out IT'S FORBIDDEN when talking to some of my best childhood friends and the reference isn't missed.. classic commercial and game

90's Kids game! Yay!
No joke I loved this game as a kid.
Screaming Demon Possessed Lava Spewing Golem Head: FORBIDDEN!!!
Peanut Boys (from Peanut Panic Board Game): YAAAAAH!
what would happen if a construction crew came along and built around it?
@@IzludeTingel Or if a helicopter or drone simply flew over it
@@FormulaPunRacer "FORBIDDE- OH, CRAP!"
@@Adamguy2003 The idol gets so angry that he was bested by advanced Human technology that he shifts into a giant stone golem and goes on a global rampage while shouting "FORBIDDEN!" repeatedly.

Peer pressure at its finest
This taught kids 3 things:
1- Do what your friends tell you
2- Rules don't matter
3- #YOLO #GETTHEBLING
4- Grab the Bling and ESCAPE TO SAFETY!
I LOVED this game! I used to play it all the time! Wow, someobdy earned their keep when they made this game.
I wanted this and a playskool dollhouse for Christmas and I got them both, I was a very happy girl. :3 Ah memories.
You gotta have some nuts to challenge a lava puking, bridge shaking, forbidden yelling statue.
This makes me feel really old.
I’ve wanted this game since I was 5.
My friend always joked about the idol being a wimp. Like, "Forbidden. H-Hey, you, don't touch that. That's forbidden. Seriously, stealing is wrong. Aww, come onnn!"
I remember this commerical it was ages age but my mind just hit a secret memory!
Who disturbs my slumber?
Adventurer Scouts: Us!
I LOVED this game growing up!
I remembered this commercial just recently and I remember how the angry idol's voice haunted me as a kid.
Lol, me and my brother hated this commercial for that VERY reason.
The guy who wanted to go back should've taken his own advice since he was the one who fell off the bridge to his death.
Man I gotta get this before Board James does a review and makes it even more rare!!
oh snaps...I think I still have this game
I haven't seen that old commercial in 30 years
I loved this game
Dude, so have I... i've seen the ad.. i've really wanted the game
I remember wanting to play this as a kid
I've been wanting to see this again for years.
This game was my shit back in the day!!!🙌🙌🙆🙆🙆
They should make a movie of this! Just like Battleship!
@AGreenBrotha
I think we learned an important lesson here, which is to never give in to peer pressure.
FORBIDDEN!!!
0:26 Announcer: Forbidden Bridge - It's...
Giant Talking Stone Idol: FORBIDDEN! [evil laugh!]
Forbidden!!!
holy shit i completley forgot about this game it was great
just played this with my brother haha he still has it :)
I still have mine, lol. With all of the pieces
I remember me thinking as a kid "Why did the guy who wanted to go back have to fall? His friend made him go...I'm sad..." Stupid commercial.
Awesome! I had this game when I was 9 or so. It had cost me 50 gulden back than and a week later or so it was for sale. :(
Still it was a fun game.
Still got mine I loved this game. I remember my friends getting pretty pissed off after falling and loosing the jewel. I don't recall ever finishing a game. This was right up there with 13 Dead End Drive, The Grape Escape, and Domino Rally
One of the best board games back in the dayz, thanks 4 uploading !!! :)))
ps: still one of my favs x)
back in the day people made the best board games ever
Ha, still have this game on my bookshelf.
That's one angry stone totem... I remember having this game, but never came with lining for the bridge. :(
This shit was 20 years ago. Damn makes me feel old.
Lol pretty much 30 years ago at this point! I feel your pain!
Sadly, I never got to play this one as a kid. I instead had Fireball Island.
Playing this game with my fourteen year old sister tomorrow. Dug it up this morning.
my favorite board game, damn! good time :D
I hate how at the end of these commercials a kid always jumps up and yells I WIN, as if he's going to get money or a trophy or something. :P
awesome
Yeah me too. I got this for xmas 1993.
Forbiddennnnn!!!!!
loved this game , and its comercial tells me to build a hive and ready sacrifices , Epic shit right here
@TheBookWorm1718 you can still find it on ebay. but good luck finding spare parts.. i'm missing the green explorer and his boat.. but it's still out there
Duuuude, this commercial really scared me when I was young
This game was wicked hard!!! I had such a hard time playing this game :(
I might be wrong, but the Golden statue sounds like he's voiced by Frank Welker. I mean he does sound a little bit like Dr. Claw from the original Inspector Gadget series.
The sensible thing to do would be to take a helicopter, land it, steal all the jewels and then use the copter to escape all without crossing the bridge.
Angry Idol: D'oh!!! Stupid advanced Human technology!
We could never afford this game growing up. That shows how friggen poor we were......
it was....... forbidden.
This game kicks ass
0:03 Let's go back!
No, let's get the jewels! 💎
My brother used to have that game
I never had that game before.
I always wanted this one
wow if i saw a talking statue spewing lava out of his mouth and saying the bridge is forbidden I would run away
Cant say why I came here, I was forbideen too!!
Thumbs up if reddit sent you here to relive your childhood.
F O R B I D D E N !
I wish I could buy this game. But I am afraid my mom would freak because of the idol's appearance.
i remember this game! damn
Does anyone but me notice that the man who didn’t even wanna cross the bridge is the one who falls to his death at the end of the commercial?
Yep got it!
I know the guy that did the idol's voice. He's like, 7 feet tall and has a thing the size of a small tree.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!
Oh wait.... wrong franchise
Had this and also It From the Pit!
Shame the smart "Hey you know... this bridge talks, let's go back." guy dies, and the jerk "No! We must desecrate their local Gods, culture, and women! Also let's get the jewels!" guy lives. Life isn't fair sometimes.
Anyway, I don't remember liking the game all that much... It made a damn good "Final Battle" set-piece for my Ninja Turtles though.
So I'm guessing anyone can cross???

LOVED IT
hey I use to have that game.
You know there are three board game series of them like
1. Fireball island
2. It from the pit
3. Forbidden bridge
This commercial kinda scared me when I was a kid.
0:27 When you ask your parents if you can have a specific sugar cereal.
Absolutely classic i just seen this game at ollie's (should get it lol)
You could write a thesis on the Eurocentric colonialist overtones of this game...
I had this game once, and it was fun but... like most games that come in so many assorted pieces, it got scattered about and the game became useless.
Shae I had fun pretending to destroyt he idle
play "White Man's Burden", the game of Victorian-era British Imperialism where the goal is to loot the temples of other cultures! That having been said, I also owned this game. Fun times, the nineties were.

Greed
is it still in production?.
Ahhh memories
megatron's the talking idol!
I think the bridge may be forbidden.
