Enjoy Gamebook Adventures 6: The Wizard from Tarnath Tor and many other great games on Desura.
I really would like the French translation to be ported on the PC version. What are you waiting for, gentlemen? Anyway, every book is fantastic.
Noticed the gap between this and number 7 is rather large. Has Tin Man stopped porting these to desktop?
Recently, I got back into gamebooks based on a flickering and partial memory of playing them as a child. I remembered enjoying many Choose Your Own Adventure books, and really enjoying the one and only time I got my hands on a Fighting Fantasy book almost two decades ago. The FF book was awesome, complete with inventory and stat management; it really left an impression on me. The nostalgia spurred me into stopping at a local used book store; they happened to have half dozen titles in each of those series. I bought them all :).
The idea of letting a computer handle everything from the paragraph seeking to the dice rolling seems a little lazy. In a good way though maybe because it lets you focus on the story without having to take to time for all the peripheral activities required to play the book properly.
I think I'll give one a try here and see for myself ;)
