One of the better 'fighting fantasy' books out there.

Better use of red herrings and tricks than the first two books. Making a map really helped me, and rationing my supplies- I did have to take a second lap, but the gameplay allowed this without failing which felt like a bigger achievement when I finally finished! Thrilling and nostalgic

(Played the Tin Man Games digital version.) Fun, although I imagine it would have been more frustrating without the map feature or drawing my own.

Another great FF title, and my third favorite. The circular nature of the story, permitting replays, combined with the variety of encounters and being able to shop for items at the start... chef's kiss.

I had a little craving to read some of those old school fighting fantasy books that I used to read (and cheat at) when I was a kid. So I found an app that did the some of the books (unfortunately, not the ones with Steve Jackson, which were the best) so I could reread the books and relive the action (and couldn’t cheat, lol)!

Because these are not your traditional novel, they’re a little harder to compare to a classic story, but I really enjoyed the reading and the action. The writing is fairly basic, but they do a good job of creating enough background and character info that you can get embroiled in the action easily enough.
