voice board games following Mall Madness. In 1990, Milton Bradley, under its Parker Brothers brand, released an updated version of the 1984 Mystery Mansion board game, adding an electronic voice device. In 1992, they released Omega Virus, a board game on a space station infected by an extraterrestrial computer virus. Unlike previous electronic voice games by Milton Bradley games, Omega Virus was unique in that it was the only one that had a countdown timer that would end the game if not completed before time ran out. Michael Gray, the creator of Mall Madness, also designed Omega Virus and Dream Phone. With the release of the 2020 edition, Julien McCluney, vice president of global brand strategy and marketing at Hasbro, told Bustle, “In the original Mall Madness – as well as the new edition – the game is centered around the exciting experience of going on a shopping spree with friends, the fact that so many adults reminisce about the original [game] more than 30 years after its initial release speaks volumes to its place in pop culture!” References External links Mall Madness 1996 instructions at Hasbro.com Mall Madness 2004 instructions at Hasbro.com Mall Madness 2020 instructions at Hasbro.com Mall Madness: "The Littlest Pet Shop" instructions at Hasbro.com Board games introduced in 1988 Children's board games Milton Bradley Company games Roll-and-move board games Electronic board games
