I was probably the only kid in America who had this

It was 1976'ish, and I had this Planet of the Apes board game.  My parents never bought us board games, so I'm not sure how I came about to possess this game.  No one would ever play the game with me.  The premise of the game sucked that bad.  I do remember it had a big cage in the center of the board, and you would be trapped in it.

Didn't seem the same without Charlton Heston.

The apes on the front of the box creeped me out.  It was always like they knew something I didn't.

Sometimes, I feel like my life has become this boardgame.  I'm in that big cage, and I can't get out.
