Dark World - A 3D Fantasy Adventure HeroQuest Competitor from Waddingtons | Retro Board Game Review
791Always Board Never Boring is back with another retro board game review. This time he is looking at Dark World from Waddingtons, released in 1992, which seemed to have it all - art by Fangorn, plastic miniatures, a 3D board, working doors, and even... some pretty good rules.
Could it possibly be better than HeroQuest though? In this review, ABNB will find out...

And here's an interesting aside: In 2009, this game was repackaged as Underworld Battle, part of the defunct Chaotic franchise. ABNB has never seen this version of game in real life, but he would love to get his hands on a copy.
