So many people - arguably even more so than when it was first released - adore Halloween and/or spooky themed things, so I think it could be a big hit, even with today's tech focused youth. <br /><br />I really hope you enjoy checking out my blog and that it continues to bring many pleasant memories your way. It's been going strong for over 6.5 years now and currently houses a bevy of more than 1,360 posts on a wide array of topics.<br /><br />Have a lovely Sunday,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-72357541803857028682015-12-06T05:25:35.095-08:002015-12-06T05:25:35.095-08:00I also loved this game as a child and was trying t...I also loved this game as a child and was trying to describe it to my husband and stepdaughter and found this site in a search for the game. I hadn't thought about it for years but, as soon as I saw the photo, it transported me back to the 60s and how cool I thought this was! Plus, I think your whole blog will definitely be worth perusing - I think my older sister and I - both in our mid 50s - are going to love seeing what you've posted here - we appreciate the memories!

It has certainly proved to be a continually popular one of the years, particularly with those who also have fond memories of the game from their youths. <br /><br />I suspect that what the commenter that you replied to had meant was that my parents still held on into from their childhood to share with me and my siblings when we were little (not that they still had to this day, which they do not). <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-82705743989154059662015-12-06T05:18:09.094-08:002015-12-06T05:18:09.094-08:00Um, she didn't have the game still from her yo...Um, she didn't have the game still from her youth; she clearly said it didn't make the cut of moves when a child.

I love that you've held onto it for decades and that it holds such a special spot in your heart to this day. It seems that those of us who adore GG never seem to lose our passion for it.

I got it, and was the envy of the whole neighborhood!! We moved to Arizona in 1970, ans was only allowed to bring a few of my toys with me. Green Ghost was one of them I chose, as well as my 10 speed bike. I still have both of them to this day, and have taught my husband to play the game (he was born in 1965, so dosen't remember it). We play this game a lot, especially around Halloween. Of course, the "snakes", "bat feathers", and "bones" have largely been replaced, since the originals deteriorated with age. The snakes were replaced with small rubber snakes(and more of them), the feathers and bones were added to, since they were OK. The board is the green with red spots. My ghost has the numbers and dividers still firmly attached (super glued in place). All the glowing parts still glow fine, and for a pretty long time, but we do play with the blacklight. And I still have the original box, even after all these years, even though it's been taped several times. I'm so glad I kept the game all this time, and nothing in it has broken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-198774392168143832014-07-06T16:33:12.624-07:002014-07-06T16:33:12.624-07:00How wonderful that this game was a firm favourite ...How wonderful that this game was a firm favourite of yours as well.

I wanted it SO BADLY and received it from my parents for Christmas one year. I loved it, but I do recall being somewhat disappointed to find that black feathers were the stand in for "bat wings", cut rubberbands were the stand in for "snakes" and little pieces of plastic were the "bones", however they looked nothing like bones.

So glad I found this site. I hadn't really held out much hope, unlike other board games of that era, I hadn't heard of this one for decades (guess I missed the 90's re-issue, heh).
