    Anyone used to be big on this?

    I remember having one. Drew the maze as I went along so I wouldn't get lost but I ended up dying anyway.

    I loved 'em. Especially the ninja ones. WTF were they called again?

    I remember it being quite easy to die in these, so I always ended up cheating. Most were poorly written, but I'm sure there are quite a few gems as well?

    Never could beat Starship Traveller. Had loads of them a one point (including the feudal Japan one). Bought the box set of Deathtrap Dungeon for a pal a couple of years ago.

    Happy, simpler times. :)

    Choose Your Own Adventure was for bummers, Fighting Fantasy was for MEN.

    if you have nothing intresting to say then you might as well just throw your bags on the truck and drive away

    I did mean the gamebook sort genre in general. I think the book I had was a Fighting Fantasy one.

    I've only just seen that CYOA was a franchise in of itself!



    Edit: Deathtrap Dungeon!! That was the book I had.

    Ahhh Deathtrap Dungeon was the best of the FF series (the PS2 game was crap) Warlock Of Firetop Mountain, Citidal Of Chaos etc etc, went a bit crap at the end and I never got on with the Sci-Fi ones.

    They did an epic four parter but cannot remember what it was called, just remember having to cheat at the end of book 2 as I didn't have a clue how to open the city gate

    used to have tons. there was an AMAZING ninja one, called avenger or something like that with a stunning painted ninja dude on the front ready to bust some heads - from the looks of it, it was supposed to be a series.

    had a quick search for it online, don't seem to be able to find it. argh.

    I liked the Goosebumps ones when I was really young.

    As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a ninja.

    of all the 'choose your own adventure' books, the lone wolf series were definatly my favorite type. they were the pride of my collection.

    The Legend of Lone Wolf by Joe Dever.

    I thank you, Mr Dever, for getting me into fantasy books long before people started to jizz all over Lord of the Rings, and for making me see how shit modern fantasy is.

    Balls. :(

    Master of Tekisuto No Kabe. *bows*
    And you're reading this why?!
