As I presume a lot of us here are mid 30s+, I would have thought that a lot of us would have a love for collecting these as much as we do the videogames of yesteryear.
Over the last 12 months I have bought them all, the gamebooks (approx 70), guides, novels, maps, all of it.
Since the day the book club magazine came to our Junior school in 86 and I asked my Mum for Robot Commando I have been hooked.
Where else would a 10 year old kid get to pilot a bipedal/aeroplane transforming mech through a post-apocolyptic wasteland and fight dinosaurs and other robots?
From then on I remember the excitement when the old lady from WHSmith in town would telephone my house to say the book I ordered had come in and going in with my grandmother to collect it before playing it the way home and then talking her ear off about what I had done in the game lol
I was super excited last month when Ian Livingstone whom I follow on Twitter announced a new one this year to celebrate 25 years of the series!
Anyways, who else collected, or still collects these books?
