Fighting Fantasy

[Doddsy]

I think that they would make a good role playing game like Skyrim for modern consoles and PC's there is enough content/world and ideas in them.

I'm sure I had a book which was like a beastiary of all the monsters from all the books..... or was a D&D thing?

I bought a new copy of this a few weeks back as I lent my original ones to a school friend and it came back with all the nice full-colour pictures missing.
Apparently they 'fell out'...
Now I have one with all the lovely pics =o)

I used to have loads of them as a kid but got rid of all of them. Then back when I was volunteering for Oxfam a couple of them were donated to the store, so I've started collecting them again! Not got a massive collection but it's getting there!

On the official website, there's a word template you can download for creating your own!

Bang on nice one!

I think I still have Titan, the guide to the Fighting Fantasy world. There was also a short lived magazine, with short games, features and introductions to other role playing games

Two of them - Warlock Of Firetop Mountain and Talisman Of Death - are out on the Playstation Network as Minis for the PSP and PS3 as well.

I read/played Warlock of Firetop Mountain on iOS when it came out. I thought it was really well done. I didn't realise they'd given up producing them.

As for the books I had a few back in the 80s including a set of 4 book revolving around the story of a Ninja, or Ninjas. One book definitely called Usurper. Wasn't there one, possibly a series, set in space? Can't remember the title....

Those are the Way of the Tiger series by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomspon, have all 6 of those too.
They also did the excellent Falcon time traveller series of which there are 5.

You might be speaking of Proteus Magazine which had a full adventure per edition as well as mini ones.
Only ran for about 20.
I only have 6 so far lol

Wow Robot Commando was my first FF book too - weird huh ?
Chosen totally on a whim, I read and owned a fair few back in school. Two of them, Crimson Tide and Creature of Chaos, I could never, ever, finish - despite blatant cheating
TBH I use to cheat all the battles too. Could never be bothered with all that dice business.

Trolltooth Wars was good too, though that was a "convential" novel. After a while I got bored of all that flicking back 'n' fourth and got into Anne McCaffrey's Pern/Dragonriders books instead.

My parents got me Virtual Reality Adventure books randomly one day. They are similar and were very good.

Clearly we both have excellent taste my friend!

There were 3 novels in the series and I recently re-read them and they still hold up pretty well!

Ooh, never heard of those! Ebay here we come lol

There were 4 as I recall; Green Blood, Down Among the Dead Men, Coils of Hate & Necklace of Skulls

No, there was a separate Fighting Fantasy magazine, I only have one issue but it exists. And the art style is very similar to Proteus...

Aaaah! I'm with you!
Warlock magazine then?
