	Home of the Underdogs - Gamebook Collection
		Before I forget: we are also looking for a few gamebooks to complete this collection.

		Many gamebooks, especially "solo RPG" adventures such as the Fighting Fantasy series, require you to roll dice to determine combat outcomes.

	Combatdisk - The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of Gamebooks
		Gamebooks first appeared in print form in the late 1970's and remained popular throughout the next decade.
		In the 1990's sales of gamebooks waned, and there are currently none in the catalogues of major publishers, although the Fighting Fantasy series have recently been re-issued by Wizard Books.
		In a gamebook the players roll dice, write information down and are on their 'honour' as he or she can easily cheat.

	Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gamebook is a book with a branching plot that serves as a medium for gameplay.
		Most gamebooks are written as though the reader were the protagonist, and are written in second person narration.
		Gamebooks are often produced for franchises, like Star Wars and Transformers.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gamebook (582 words)

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Gamebook
		Most gamebooks have multiple possible endings, at least one of which is a "win" with most or all of the rest being "losses"; the added replay value of gamebooks is one of the primary reasons for their popularity.
		Some gamebooks borrow game mechanics from role-playing games, containing combat and requiring the reader to keep track of the main character's statistics and equipment, upon which certain branches of the storyline may be dependent.
		Gamebook software providers make it easier and give the writer the opportunity to concentrate on writing the plot instead of keeping a valid gamebook structure.

	Lone Wolf
		Fairly early on, Hutchinson released The Lone Wolf Adventures, a hardback volume containing the first two gamebooks.
		I've long felt that the game system in these books is one of the best ever found in a gamebook.
		Although it's unfortunate that the Combat Skill and Endurance attributes are determined randomly (I prefer point-assignment systems since they allow more strategy), the rest of the system serves to add all kinds of interesting choices on top of the ones that are part of the text.

	Gamebook Blurbs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Well, in case you're interested in seeing a little bit about what gamebooks are like, here are the back of the book blurbs from some of them with a brief description of each series.
		If you managed to get here without going through my hobbies page and don't know what I mean by "gamebook", these are basically single player, role playing games in book form, similar to interactive fiction (text adventures) but they have some illustrations.
		As I recall from what I read, these were some of the last gamebooks published, originally released around 1995 or so, authored by the team of Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson.

	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.
		In this gamebook you are an adventurer trying to sneak into Firetop Mountain, kill the warlock who is master of the mountain, and make off with his treasure; a standard loot and pillage adventure.
		It was challenging, but not maddeningly so, even though I really despise when gamebook authors put mazes in their books.
