[Closed] anyone used to play these?

Temple of Terror was the daddy, I had loads of them...

Warlock of Firetop mountain, I remember it well. Ground braking at the time.

Edited to add

I tried programming it on my 1K ZX81 and got to about page 3 before I ran out of RAM 🙂

I read at least the 1st 4 rows there!! I must have been a boring kid!!

wonder how they read now?

A selection of these is available on iOS devices, great fun!

Freeway Fighter and appointment with fear were my faves!

same as organic - I recognise so many of them!

WOuld love to play some again on the android...

😯 I had forgotten I used to read those! As above I remember at least the first 3 rows!

goon, is it an app or a book download?

I had WoFM as well. There was a [i]really[/i] bad computer game of it too, which was utterly unrelated to the book. I found out years later that it was a different game entirely ('hall of the things' IIRC) that they'd just renamed as a quick cash-in.

Steve Jackson's still making games, incidentally. Stuff like Munchkin and such.

It's an app. Search for Fighting Fantasy.

cougar that is epic! forget skyrim i want to play that 😀

How many of you actually played them properly?

Or were you very often "lucky" despite not having dice anywhere near you? 🙂

had WoFM, nope never got my act together (how hard is it to get dice a pen and paper?) and played properly just read it and got lucky a lot 🙂

Had a few no dice/keep score ones too, eg. go left turn to page 36 go right turn to page 74
page 36 = you died 🙁
Seem to remember a couple of Transformers ones

I loved the Fighting Fantasy books when i was a kid and recently got one for my lad which was great fun to do together.

I seem to recall there was another company as well that did something similar, with Wolf in the title?

Deathtrap dungeon rings a bell might dig that out for the boy later.

Fighting Fantasy were great 🙂 Seas of Blood and Trial of Champions were my faves IIRC though some of the futuristic ones (Appointment with FEAR, etc) were pretty good too. Looking through I reckon I had exactly all of the first three rows - guess that's where I stopped.

I just 'won' every battle. Couldn't ever be bothered to play 'properly'. I'd quite often be 'unlucky' though just to see but often bookmark the previous place just in case... 🙂

Awesome, remember all of the first couple of rows too. WoFTM was proper hard, I don't think I ever managed to finish it! Always ended up getting eaten by the ghoul.

Remember, west is best and never, ever turn to page 399.

I loved them, fangs of fury was my favourite. I got some of the apps a while ago, good fun but you can't cheat 🙂
