Speaking of Hero Quest, why doesn't Milton Bradley re-release that game? I know it didn't have huge sales back in the day but I think seeing how this style of game is much more popular today, it definitely has a following now. And re-release all those expansion packs... 120 dollars for some of those >.< Ridiculous.

Hero Quest is actually Warhammer Fantasy lite - the game is based in the same universe (since it was a joint venture between Milton-Bradley and Games Workshop).
I enjoyed the game alot, but because the monsters always died too quickly (only 1 body point each), we wrote little "wound markers" on pieces of paper so they could take a few more hits.

I found some on eBay that doesn't seem that expensive, have a look if interested: http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=hero+quest&_sacat=See-All-Categories

I'm not a huge board game fan, mostly because the rest of my family isn't either, so I don't really have anyone to play with. But I do play sometimes at youth group and when I get together with friends. Some of my favorites are:
Monopoly - so much fun to play with my brother, because we usually end up as the last two people in. And then I win. XD
Acquire - I only played this once. My brother and I played as a team, while everyone else played single player (don't ask why), and we ended up winning. Like Monopoly, it's a money game, and it's based on building, expanding, and merging businesses in order to make money. Apparently it's really rare now, and sells for about $100 on eBay, but my former pastor received it as a gift once. If you ever get a chance to play, do it.
Loaded Questions - I play this with my close friends sometimes. Basically, one person draws a card, and picks a category on the card, depending what space on the board they're on. He or she then reads the question from the card, and every other player writes down their answer. One of the players reads all the answers, and the person who drew the card has to try to match each answer with each person. The questions can be funny, serious, personal, or just plain embarrassing. This is not a game I would generally suggest to play in mixed company. XP
Clue - needs no explanation. XD Unfortunately I don't have many friends who like this game. >.>
Also, I second Apples to Apples. I love that game. XD
That's pretty much it. Oddly enough, I've never played a complete game of Risk. I don't have the patience. XP

Are you sure it's HeroQUEST or do you mean HeroSCAPE? Cause HeroQuest has been out of print for almost 20 years... That Walmart must not update their inventory often

Risk (so much fun, but make sure you have some time to kill--last game I played took almost 5 hours to finish)
Apples to Apples
Fluxx (a really, really awesome card game where the rules are always changing!)
Cranium
Imaginiff (really hilarious --we played this during the Spring Break mission trip)
Train (a dominoes game --though I haven't found anyone to play it with me)
Sorry
I too love chess (but suck at it).

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
