Paulsen, Steven (1996). "Cowboys and Atmosfear". Bloodsongs. Australia: Bambada Press (7): 14. [Atmosfear] was something like six years and six million dollars in production. When you started a game, you’d start the video playing, and a hooded figure would appear. He was the Gatekeeper, and to win the game you had to beat him as well as your fellow players. The game had an hour limit (the length of the tape) and there was a timer on screen to count down the seconds. When the time was up, the Gatekeeper won; if you managed to get to the middle of the board and claim your nightmare before then, you stopped the tape and celebrated your victory. brands, products in thousands of categories from hundreds of retailers to give you reliable purchasing advice.

I remember first playing Atmosfear as a young teenager in a friend’s living room. We sat on the floor in the dark, revelling in the way her parents’ surround sound system made everything louder and more terrifying, shrieking with real, delighted fear whenever the Gatekeeper appeared. If you’re only half-arsedly playing the game, you don’t get the adrenaline rush at the end, when everything speeds up and the Gatekeeper appears more and more often, stopping the action just when you’re desperate for your turn to come round so you can try to reach the Well of Fears. A major refresh to the series was released in 1995, titled The Harbingers, which sold above the industry's sales predictions in Australia and became one of the top-ten best-selling games in the United States and the United Kingdom within months of its release. All it takes to ruin a game like this is for one player not to get into it properly. If one person refuses to do something the Gatekeeper asks them to, the whole illusion of the game is shattered. For that reason, you have to be kind of careful who you play it with. Anyone overly self-conscious, overly cynical, will spoil the, ahem, atmosphere for everyone. But get the right group of people together and it’s a lot of fun. Thom, Greg (11 August 2004). "Far from being board – How DVD plays a new role". The Daily Telegraph. Sydney, Australia: News Limited. [Philip Tanner] has been working on Atmosfear since 1995. AtmosfearTM is a game of skill, strategy and suspense wrapped up in a race against time. You must collect 6 coloured keys and face your greatest fear before the countdown reaches zero. But there is one problem: The Gatekeeper. And he's going to cause a world of trouble.

Paulsen, Steven (1996). "Cowboys and Atmosfear". Bloodsongs. Australia: Bambada Press (7): 15. This time around the Cowboys teamed up with a British company called JW Spear and Sons.As cutting edge as the game seemed at the time, it now seems quaintly old-fashioned, and there’s something nice about that. If you’ve got a copy of the video version sitting in your attic – and if you still have a VHS player – it might be worth blowing the dust off, turning the lights down low and the volume up loud to give it another go… Shoebridge, Neil (16 October 1995). "Roadshow speeds on to the entertainment superhighway". Business Review Weekly. Australia. p.81. [Village] Roadshow is releasing Atmostfear ... this year ... in the US. Two years after the game's launch in 1991, the two millionth Nightmare board game was sold. Since then, three game expansions have been released.

"Cowboys and Atmosfear". Bloodsongs. Australia: Bambada Press (7): 15–16. Nightmare was such a major success for Spear, and they had done a lot of market research on it, that they wanted to have a say in how the next game was developed. For the Cowboys, it meant that they could take advantage of Spear's obvious game development skills, rather than having to build everything up from scratch themselves. The Harbingers ( VHS videotape). Australia: A Couple 'A Cowboys. 1995. Event occurs at 59:57. The Gatekeeper: It's over you idiots. You have lost, and you only have yourselves to blame.
