Cool Old D&D Poster I Found

Here's a picture of a beautiful old D&D poster I found while cleaning out my closet. This poster dates from 1982 and was promotional material for Mattel's Dungeons & Dragons Computer Labyrinth Game, which I owned and enjoyed thoroughly back in the day. I love the dragon art on the poster, which is highly reminiscent of an old Ballantine Adult Fantasy paperback cover. I've had this poster since I was a kid, although I don't recall exactly where I got it...


I had a jam-packed weekend of superfun gaming at WyrdCon I, including a run-in with Larry Niven! I'll write up a report shortly!

    I had this poster for years. I had it up in my dorm room in college my freshman year till my roommate got mad at me one night and ripped it up.

    I was irritated at the time, but in the end I got the last laugh. I'm happily married, have kids and have a good job and he is still stuck in the same mentality he was in 20 years ago.

    Congrats on finging your poster!

    I actually have that game sitting in my office at work. I took it there to show it off to my gaming co-workers.

    I have zero recollection of that game, so I know I never owned it, but that poster! I completely recall that dragon, so I must have had the poster for some reason. Wow - cool post. That is a memory right out of the blue.

    Looking for this poster online and this is the only pic of it that comes up.
