The Fighting Fantasy fansite in which YOU become the hero!
This sequel to Fighting Fantasy Legends brings three more classic FF gamebooks into video game form. This time, the books are the Baron Sukumvit trilogy: Deathtrap Dungeon, Trial of Champions, and Armies of Death. But they’ve changed a few things, not all of them for the better. For a start, there’s an opening menu […]

The playing style is an open world, where you discover these three interconnected adventures while poking about town. You don’t need to do them in any specific sequence — […]
Joe Dever’s famous Lone Wolf series of gamebooks was immensely popular. Not only did these two men make over 30 gamebooks, and later grant rights to have them freely published online, but they also created a really fun video game. It’s a really well done combination of book (lots of text and illustrations), multimedia video […]
YOU become the chosen prophesied one … Yes, really. Stop laughing! The earth government of the galaxy has pulled you 1,000 years into the future, to track down and eliminate the leader of a separatist freedom-fighting organization. Sorry, I meant terrorists. I think. It’s so hard to tell the difference. Why don’t they just use […]
YOU become a thief in the infamous Nurroth, Orlandes’ own version of Port Blacksand. You’re hired for a simple task of stealing a document, and are offered double your usual rate. Who would pass up a deal like that? But what comes after the heist? That’s up to you. There are many paths to happiness. […]
YOU BECAME a slave but this time you’re on a mission. In Slaves of Rema your introduction to the southern continent of Rema was less than friendly: slavery, gladiatorial combat, and a plot to overthrow the Grand Duke of Orlandes. It’s a year later. The Reman empire has continued to decline, and the United Emirates […]
YOUR MOM BECOMES the Earth Queen, the priestess-chieftain of a tribe of insular, xenophobic druids living in a forest at a lake which is the center of all life in the world.

YOU ATTEND the funeral of an old friend, one of your adventuring buddies from back when you were kids. You find out that he was murdered for investigating a local cult, and you are out for revenge. In the process, you find a connection to Eltane, the would-be usurper in GA #1, Assassin in Orlandes, […]
YOU BECOME the investigator when a religious sect claims that Asuria, the beneficent god of humanity, is returning to earth. A generous and helpful god sounds like something good… but when Asuria died he left a note saying that if he comes back from the dead, then it’s a fake and you should kill it […]
YOU BECOME a really ticked-off assault victim when you’re robbed, tied to a tree, and left to die. Days later, a wizard is passing through and needs a favor from you because you seem like you can handle yourself in a fight. (huh? really?) Just go to the lost legendary city of Tarnath-Tor (can’t miss […]
When YOU BECOME a gladiatorial slave in the empire of Rema across the sea, suddenly your homeland’s saying “We fight wars so that we can have peace, and we use slaves so that we can have freedom.” is not sounding so great anymore! Can you escape the gladiatorial prison, find passage on a ship home, […]
YOU BECOME a very unhappy thief when the local thieves’ guild catches you picking pockets at the market. The band of brigands has thrown you into the sewer (not at all a catacomb despite the name) where you’re sure to be eaten by blood rats and hagfish, or be killed by the brigands and sorcerors […]
YOU BECOME a forelorn lover, getting drunk after a breakup. Then you stumble upon a mugging, then find out that your ex has been kidnapped!

YOU BECOME a petty crook, when a friend talks you into burglarizing a necromancer’s dungeon. What could possibly go wrong? Well, let’s put it this way… When you anger a necromancer, betrayal and murder are just the beginning. Review and Opinion This was my first of the Gamebook Adventure series, as it had the highest […]
