Okay, at a glance, I thought Father Fouras was being held at gun point in the thumbnail... but no, it's just a shelf x)

That show was so popular in Quebec when I was a kid! I didn't even know they made games after it. That run was really entertaining ! Well done !

Man, I used to play this game so much as a kid!

Our local version of the TV show here in Sweden was destination viewing every week for my family in the 90’s (as it was for a quarter of the Swedish population at its peak popularity). So when my dad got the game for his PC, I played it all the time whenever I’d visit him (as well as the Tintin game another runner ran this GDQ; the ultimate 90’s kid Euro gaming experience!)

Fort Boyard was so huge in my country back in the 90s and I loved it as a kid. I never knew there were games of it! It's kinda sad a didn't know and didn't get to play them...

Wish I had seen this live, I would have donated just for you to say that here in Quebec (Canada) we had a version of it with quebec celebrities for 8 years. It was a big game show when I was young. Did not know there was video game. Thanks to show the world. :)

The Swedish version of this game was the first PC game I ever owned. Was a big fan of the gameshow when I was a child and I liked the game, even though it does get monotonous when you’ve learned how to beat all cells and remember every riddle.

As someone from the UK, I have very fond memories of both Fort Boyard and The Crystal Maze, so it’s great to see this playthrough! I’m a relative newbie to GBQ, but have been following it / AGDQ / Frame Fatales for quite a few years now - you do an awesome job each year!

I believe some footage of Richard O’Brien hosting the pilot of Fort Boyard surfaced online recently, which (as shared during the playthrough) lead to The Crystal Maze being born, because the Fort wouldn’t be available for filming as it was being renovated in 1989.

With the donation at 22:40, I can’t help but wonder if the: “significantly more former TV soap stars mocking the contestants” is referencing the UK Boyard, the late Leslie Grantham who appeared as the character “Dirty” Den Watts, in the UK soap EastEnders between 1985 to 1989 and revived his role in 2003-2005. He co-presented with glamour model Melinda Messenger, for the UK broadcaster, Channel 5, between 1998 to 2001.

Good job TBCR on the playthrough - especially with the dreaded Rat Maze! 👍

as I was playing along with the riddle, could the answer possibly be a chessboard?

It's still airing here in France every summer. Used to watch this show when i was a kid, now my children do. Only Father Fouras hasn't aged :D

Loved that show growing up; I never played this game though, need to give it a shot.

It did get shown in the UK, but on Channel 5, and so it came off as a naff Crystal Maze. Thanks for setting me straight.

As a french i am impressed somone actually want to speedrun the game

But does english is really the faster language ? or it was just for the audience ?

Fort Boyardee! The chef of ravioli and cheese entertainment!

This show aired on Disney XD in the UK like a decade ago, that’s how I watched it. That version was hosted by the actor who played the bodyguard in the sitcom Pair of Kings that was airing on Disney XD at the same time.
