		Fighting Fantasy gamebooks were an introduction to role-playing games for many children in the 1980s.
		Written by Steve Jackson (not to be confused with the US game designer of the same name) and Ian Livingstone, they were interactive adventure books written in a style which gave the player a choice of what to do after each paragraph.
		The series grew to 59 titles with a number of additional spin-offs and companion books written by a variety of authors until it was finally cancelled in 1995 as sales failed to satisfy in the high-street bookstores any more.

	Fighting Fantasy Game Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gamebook format used in Fighting Fantasy was previously seen in a series of solitaire adventures released for the Tunnels and Trolls role-playing game, the first of which was Buffalo Castle [1].
		The Fighting Fantasy series distinguished itself by the use of a dice mechanic used to resolve combat and other situations, not dissimilar to that used in Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games, though far simpler.
		In the two-player game each of the readers would from time to time be instructed by the book to make a note on a shared piece of paper as they made decisions, which could influence what happened to the other player as his book instructed him to respond accordingly.

	Fighting Fantasy
		Fighting Fantasy was the first mass-market gamebook series, and was by far the biggest, with 59 volumes published, along with a companion set of books expanding the basic rules into a full role-playing system.
		Fighting Fantasy books used a rather simple system, which is fine considering that these books were pitched at a younger audience.
		Most Fighting Fantasy books fall into the category of what I call "maze games." You basically are searching for the right path from point "A" to point "B", with about a score of available options, only one of which is correct.

	Story vs. Game
		Game designers need to understand that gaming is not inherently a storytelling medium any more than is music--and that this is not a flaw, that our field is not intrinsically inferior to, say, film, merely because movies are better at story-telling.
		Reading the book in that alternative order is a somewhat different experience; because you encounter events and characters in a different order, the meanings of their actions are different; you see the story in a different light.
		As I've argued, game books and hypertext fiction are structurally identical, differing only in their implementation (print books or electronic application) and in the literary ambitions of their perpetrators.

	BBC - h2g2 - Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks
		The average game book is divided into 400 chunks of text, numbered consecutively, from a few lines to several paragraphs long, which describe situations, people and events.
		While the Fighting Fantasy series provided a means to satisfy the interests of the single gamer it was not forgotten that role-playing was meant to be a group activity.
		While the final book in the Fighting Fantasy series was published in 1995, the books remained in the shelves for a few more years before being pulled out of circulation.

	Fighting Fantasy
		This, the third Ian Livingstone book in a row, is sort of a conclusion to a trilogy; just as Deathtrap Dungeon mentions that you've come to Fang from Port Blacksand, so this book mentions that you're journeying on from Fang to a new destination.
		The usual Fighting Fantasy minimalism is in place, but there are plenty of odd encounters that stick with the reader (the swamp's Masters, the three mages, and even weird beasts like the crab grass are all worthy of note).
		This book is Ian Livingstone at his worst: a linear sequence of excessively difficult but not especially interesting encounters complete with a stupid, luck-based guessing game poorly disguised as a climactic battle.

		This is the first book of the Fighting Fantasy series and, without rose-tinted glasses, it shows.

		For any good gaming group, the campaign and the characters within both grow and thrive over time allowing the game itself to take a life of its own.
		This can easily cause the game to shift focus for at least a session or two, due to resurrecting the fallen comrade, or bringing in another comrade-in-arms to replace the recently departed.
		In my game, which is more magic-rich than normal Harn, there are mages; but the laws of the land, and of the Mage Guild, tell them not to use overt magic.
