Hi. I've just found something that will be of interest to gamebook fans, I hope. Tinman games http://tinmangames.com.au/blog/ not only are publishing their own books, but will soon be publishing electronic versions of the original Fighting fantasy series of gamebooks by Ian livingston and Steve Jaxon, such as the very famous warlock of firetop mountain, valt of the vampire etc.
I've E-mailed the publishers of these books a couple of times, to discuss producing accessible versions (especially as they host ameter gamebook adventures themselves), but i've been ignored each time. However now, they are producing electronic versions, even if just for the iphone and Android platforms, (grrrrr!). I am therefore interested to know whether the original books from tinman games such as revenant rising and Temple of the spider god are accessible, or could at least be made so, with screen reading options for Ios and android. If not, I definitely think someone with access to an Iphone should take this up with tinman, sinse it would be fantastic if the original ff books were finally! made accessible, not to mention Tinman's own books which include some by authors people may recognize from the ffproject site, such as simon osborn who wrote body's in the dock and curse of the Yeti. Indeed, gamebooks are one of the things I'm looking forward to myself if I ever get an Iphone, and access to the original ff books would be awesome. Beware the grue!
