Mornington Crescent-Brit Dopers, help a Yank?

I’m wanting a map of the Underground stations-preferably a BIG map. Can anyone help me out? I’ll pay for the postage.

The official online maps are here.

You can buy a poster (35" x 25") [urk=“http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?cmd=product&product_id=164&page=12&customer_IDGF092AAA241860137161”]here. Looks like it’ll around $15 including postage.

:smack:

It won’t do you any good, however. It’s taken me seven years to even scratch the surface of Mornington Crescent, and I’ve yet to win definitively in even friendly play.

Yair, get the snerk official map if you think it will help.

For reasons of national security, the *real[/] map cannot be exported to the colonies.

I used to own a copy of a board game called The London Game, I imagine it was a spin off from Mornigton crescent, anyway it’s board was a map of the London underground and it included playing pieces that you were meant to move from station to station.

Here’s a link to a page on the game, it looks like it’s still in print:

Mornington Crescent: The Board Game. <snort> Trust me – they ain’t getting all those rules on the back of the box lid…

Oh, believe you me, there’s no doubt in my mind the “official” map will be of little use, but at least I’ll have an idea of some authentic station names.

Thanks, TD for the link.

Flypsyde, if you do a google image search for “tube map” you’ll get plenty of maps from which to draw tube names.

Feel free to buy the poster though - its a work of art in itself :slight_smile:

and jr8, they did actually produce a PC Game of Mornignton Crescent back in the mid-nineties somewhere, the manual was on a cd-rom and the in game tutorial was huge.

If i can find my copy i’ll scan the cover in and send a pic to you if you want?

Would that be the the colonies 1776 amendments you wanted ?

There’s also Scotland Yard. A PC version had been available but it’s gone out of print.

Egads. I can’t even begin to conceive of what that must have been like. But I’ll take your word for it.

Actually, this is one of those things which will probably be considered a valuable antique in the future, like the Broderbund Hitchhiker game (which I have stashed somewhere – “You are in a maze of twisty synapses, all alike.”)
