I love the game, it's one of the few "board" style games I can get my family to play.
I own several versions of the game. My personal favorite is the international Waddington's with the GORGEOUS plastic pieces - amazing sea serpent, cool little building on the hex tiles, etc.
However, I really like the ATLANTEAN SWIRLER, so I own that version and the boats and wooden minis in the other version is great too.
However, I DO NOT like the Stronghold reprint. I think the art and components are cheap looking and terrible compared to the amazing art of the other editions.
I have yet to try the space version, although I'm turned off by the lame looking art.
I still have my Waddingtons version of Escape from Atlantis. I covet it, despite it being fiddly as all hell without being magnetized.
I had to hunt down a few more tiles so that I could play it as the Survive. But I made some cards as a replacement effect to the tiles which allows me to play it as Survive without interpreting the bullshit iconography.
I like it, but don't love it. It gets the most use when playing with kids and teenagers, mine included. My younger son isn't much into games, but he will play this one. The level of aggression makes sense to kids, if not always to gamers.
For my part, I think the swing in point values on the little people is too swingy. I feel like it's a little too easy to win on accident, particularly with inexperienced groups. It's a fun design though, very intuitive and interactive. I would personally call it a second tier classic.
Fun game but never caught on with my group. I have the Waddington's set and added weights to the bottom of the Atlantean pieces so that they're actually stable, as well as point values printed underneath. I even made up an event deck though I only tried it once -

All in all I probably put too much effort into modding my set for the amount of time I played it.
