Type: Board Game
Name: Fortress America: The United States Under Attack
Released: 1986
By: Milton Bradley
Description: A war board game set in the 21st century



The board game cover: It depicts Saddam Hussein, which is strange since he was believed to be allied with the US in 85/86.



Below is a rarer version of the game which depicts a much older Saddam in the background. Look whats in the background though, the World Trace Center on fire. Strange.




Im not implying anything, i just thought this was an interesting find and kind of weird.

What do you think?

I don't think the game makers were making too big of a stretch when they came up with this. I mean, only five years after this board game out, we were clashing with Iraq in Kuwait.

Technically this was made during the Iran Contra, so something like this is only natural.
