Back in 1993, a cool board game hit the shelves called DragonStrike, which was based on the famous Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game. It was made by TSR and had a special mission: to introduce new players to the magical world of roleplaying and the epic rules of D&D.

Now, by the time DragonStrike arrived, I was already a pro at playing roleplaying games. So I wasn't super excited about it at first. But then, one of my buddies showed me something that changed my mind – the video tutorial that came with the game. He was all pumped up to show it to me, and I was really curious.

When I watched the tutorial, I was blown away! It had everything – real actors, computer animations, fantasy stuff, action, some funny moments, and even a little bit of cheesy charm. It was like the perfect package of fun! I knew right away that I had to get a copy for myself.

Surprisingly, my friend didn't seem too eager to keep the tutorial and just gave it to me. I couldn't figure out why, but hey, I wasn't going to complain about getting a cool retro gift!

Over the years, I showed that video to so many people. Of course, those who played RPGs like me got the biggest kick out of it. But you know what? Even folks who didn't play games enjoyed it and couldn't help but smile.

So, if you haven't seen the DragonStrike tutorial or it's been a while, you gotta check it out! It's a total blast and can bring a smile to anyone's face, gamer or not. Enjoy the adventure!

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
