Still have a ton of these in my home library. Even as an old guy… I LOVE THEM!
Hell yea, I also kept a shorter series called Amazing Stories. Those were dark.
I recently went on Z Library to see what CYOA they had in digital format… lots of NSFW books and a weird one about North Korea.
I remember reading these with like 3 fingers trying to hold my last few choices just in case they turned out badly.
I got three of these. Loved them when i was a kid
I was like seven the first time somebody handed me one of these. I tried to read it cover to cover and I was very confused
These were so awesome, fellow gen Xer. !!
Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf saga was my crack during my late teens. I’ll have to drag them out and replay them.
Hell yes, Fighting Fantasy is legit. They’re still fun to play. Also Ian Livingston is super nice on his socials if you ever say hello to him.
You can get the books digitally for free: https://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books
Really nice of the Authors to allow this!
Maybe I should post this in unpopular opinion but I did not enjoy these! I always chose what I thought were reasonable and pragmatic choices (because I was a boring and scaredy child) and I always died, lol. Looking back as an adult, I imagine that that’s the idea, that you get to and should take “risks” and they’ll pay off in the story. But as a kid I was always super frustrated, ha!
Wow, memory unlocked! I read all of these one year lol .
My first intro to save scumming. I’d have my fingers on 4 different pages trying to get a good ending by changing my choices.
God i loved those books.
By gum this is a wonderful trip down memory lane!
