5.0 out of 5 stars What happened to the rest?, March 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cities of Gold and Glory (New Gamebook Series) (Paperback)

I must be one of the luckiest buggers around considering the other reviews of this book. As a huge fan of fantasy game books I snapped these up straight away when I saw the potential. Aside from the lone wolf books, this series realy gives this genre of book a new edge.

So why am I so lucky? Cos I have all the six books that were produced, and I have yet to really get into them. My idea was to wait for all 12 and then sit down for a right good session...it was not to be. According to WHSmith, the rights for these books has been purchased and the remained of the series should be out eventually..but when.

These six books are imaginative, well written and if you have ever actually tried to write a fighting fantasy book, a work of complex art...

If you can get hold of them, please do, they are definatly the tip of the fighting fanasty iceberg.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!, October 14, 2003

The best solo RPG game ever!
These books create the most amazing fantasy world.
They allow you to roam about how you want to.
It was planned that enough of these books would be released to cover the map that is contained in each of this series.
However, I heard, that they charged too little for each book (in England I think they were just £5 or £6!!) so they couldn't finish the series for financial reasons!
An absolute shame - I do anything for the last few books!!

I strongly reccomend this wonderful roleplaying game. Absolutely non-lynear storyline, many different characters to start your game with and many mini-quests in the global quest.
