Game Board of the Week: Battlestar Galactica (1978; Parker Brothers)
I got this BSG board game as a boy in 1978. I remember the little cardboard Colonial Vipers with plastic bases. It was fun to play with my friends. The cover box artwork had an excellent image of the Battlestar.
You're right, the game did come with little cardboard Vipers and plastic bases, not unlike the Eagles in the Space:1999 game. The box art shows how gorgeous the old Galactica really is. I understand we're going to get a very accurate model kit of the ship sometime soon...
