Yes orin they are.
The fighting fantasy and lone wolf series are both being republished at the
moment.
sinse a brief glance at the site seemed to indicate that the Ff publishers
also hhosted ameter gamebook adventures, I do wonder if it'd be worth
ccontacting them to see if they would be willing to sell accessible textual
pdf versions of the books specifically for eyeball defficient people.
I'd love to play some of the originals on my own, sinse they really were
great!
I'll add writing to them onto my jobs list.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hmm. I wonder if GameBooks are still being made today...

Hi Tom.
I must admit I'm getting to be a bit of a gamebook nut.
You have the story and plot elements of interactive fiction, ---- often
with puzles, but a sympler interface, and factors such as character
stats which can be used to resolve combat, or reward the player.
Gamebooks of course alter a lot in quality, but generally they're
deffinately fun.
On the same subject, I've actually just come across some other pdf
gamebooks from the 80s, published in various game book related
magazines.
i initially thought that like many old gamebooks on sites like home of
the underdogs, these where streight image scans, ---- but it turns out
they actually have text, which means they can be converted and played.
Hurrah!
I'm not sure of the quality, but there's one way to find out, go to

Hi Dark,
Thanks for your informative post. Some of this I knew already, but
there was much here I didn't know about. Time to get a RPG fix for
this RPg junky.
