It From The Pit (MB games 1992) Down From The Attic Ep. 90

Hi gang, I'm back with another classic game review, and this episode it's a big one! IT from the pit from Milton Bradley, released in 1992. This 3D, motorised mechanical mad cap monster of a game is sure to grab you... literally! If you enjoy the video, let me know your thoughts. As I mention in the review, I had to repair this game as it wasn't working on arrival. If there's interest in me doing a walkthrough of what to look for when repairing these, I don't mind stripping apart my broken unit to show you guys.

I realise it's been a good few months since the last review, well, the last video actually. The truth to this is a lot more stressful and upsetting than I'd really really want to dive that deep into. Time marches onward, we're all getting older and the older members of my family are...well, they've been struggling. All my grandparents have had numerous medical issues over the last few months that have been stressful on the family, family member including myself running to help them, run errands, clean etc whilst they get back on their feet. Seeing them struggling itself was upsetting, seeing my parents upset with seeing their parents struggling...it hit deep. And it put me in no real mood to play games let alone review them. I chose to be with my family and support each other through the rough patch. Whilst certain issues there aren't necessarily going to to get better, there's help and support systems now in place that's alleviated quite a bit of the stress we were all under. Not out of the woods, but in a better place and one where I'm happier than I have been. My family, will understandably, come before the channel but filming and editing this episode.... well, it's good be back doing this.

I've also been doing a fair amount of painting, not necessarily game pieces and miniatures but model making too. I find it calming and found it helped me get through the last few months, something I had a bit of control over when things seemed like chaos. I have painted up some game minis however so when those games get reviewed, they're going to look their best...or, the best I can muster anyway :)

thanks again gang for watching, take care, keeping gaming,

Luke
