History Trivia / Atmosfear

* ColbertBump: [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One's]] review of Nightmare is well remembered, even becoming the pilot and namer of his side-series, 'The Black Hole of Board Games.'
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Atmosfear tapes have been uploaded on Youtube, and fans who know how tend to copy them to DVD.

* WildfireFranchise: ''Atmosfear'' originated as a tabletop game that received three expansions with the game's playable characters as hosts yearly and even a SNES game in development. Then it got rebooted one year later with a new tabletop game, a tie-in PC game, and a few expansions, one of which was based on the Soul Rangers. Afterwards it laid dormant for nine years, got two DVD games and one DVD express version over the next four years, and laid dormant again until 2020 with a re-issue of the 2004 game.

* NoExportForYou: For reasons unknown, ''Khufu'' was never released in the US.

The game was intended for a 1994 release, but never got past the prototype stage and was never formally announced. It was eventually rediscovered in 2019 and released online.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Both in terms of the format and the execution. The game ''screams'' [[UsefulNotes/TheNineties mid-90s]], with the action relying on commands displayed through on-screen text prompts and host segments as opposed to interactive DVD menus, which would take off at the turn of the century. The post-roll advertisements, dodgy makeup being used to sell the transformations of the hosts and TotallyRadical catchphrases on the part of Baron Samedi complete the package.

** ''Atmosfear: The Harbingers'' came with an order card for Prima's ''Atmosfear: The Source Book''. Aside from a guide to the CD-ROM game ''Atmosfear: The Third Dimension'', full-color comic adaptations of the Harbingers' stories, and behind-the-scenes reads, these 128 unseen pages were to include an "advanced game" for ''Harbingers''. One can only wonder what this was to entail.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Khufu may have had to wait 15 years for his own game, but Gevaudan and Hellin are still waiting...
