Does anyone remember this game from the mid-nineties or so? I found it in my parents attic this month (along with a bunch of other shit I'll be debuting here soon) and remembered that I actually only played it once.
It was the basic premise of "Mousetrap" but took way longer to set up, and there were more traps to kill your little grape guy, which you made out of play-dough with the included grape sculptor. It was fun but I think we only played it once due to the fact that it took an hour to set up and I also got Descent II for PC the same year.
So basically, use this thread to discuss any 90's board games that are no longer in production. Though if Grape Escape is still produced I'd be surprised.

I always liked Fireball Island, after seeing the TV commercial I had to own it. Crossfire was also endlessly fun.

Fireball Island? Sounds like a tropical themed gay bar.
Shake it, Quake it, Space Kaboom.

You mean the tropically themed gay bar that you went to last night?
Sorry I'm just fresh out of insults tonight.
Crossfire was heavenly.

Sweet analysis. I saw that too when reading down this thread.
I've never played Crossfire, but it always looked fun and my friends and I still quote the commercial... well, the "CROSSFIRE!" part of it anyway.
RIP Hacker.

I was so excited by the Grape Escape ad to buy the game but it turned out to be really crap. You just roll the dice and move forward the right number of spots. No skill whatsoever.
