  It’s nice to see someone out there who has an appreciation for these fighting fantasy books just like I do.  I would vacation to Ireland as a child in the 80s to visit family and found these books in the book store in town. House of Hell caught my eye and I purchased it. I never experienced anything like it. I was hooked and bought several more. These books couldn’t be found in the USA. I could only get them in Ireland and would look forward to acquiring new ones every summer when I went back. These books have a special place in my heart. Not only because they were so unique and fun but also because they are a connection to a very special time and place in my life. Thank you for your video and keeping the memories alive. I still have all my books and I treasure them.

  The Sorcery series was as perfect as it gets, a humongous load of fun, so creative, so well executed and very difficult to finish.

  My favourite series was the Way of the Tiger. As far as Fighting Fantasy is concerned, house of hell, deathtrap dungeon, the trial of champions, and above all, the Island of the Lizard King and Talisman of Death were my favourites

  Talisman of death, simply as it was the first book I ever played. So it was a completely fresh experience for me

  I absolutely loved the Cretan Chronicles. The authors really did a good job on recreating the ancient myths.

  Hi from Brazil! Today I finished The Deathtrap Dungeon (after 25 years +) with my now 8 year old kid. He loved as much as I did back then an I decided to search for content of those amazing books. Fortunately I found your recent video! So cool to find people who share the same interest so far away and had the experience! Even though I have most of them, there were some that I didn´t knew! Thank you for the content!

  These were my favourite books back in the 80's and it is from those i got my love for adventure and RPG. Still at the age of 55, i have thought of buying one again 🙂

  I read &apos;At the Court of King Minos&apos; as a kid that was probably a bit too young to appreciate it. As you read out the title and showed the cover you unlocked the memory of it. Can&apos;t really remember anything about it but I think it scared me quite a bit.<br><br>Good call on the Sorcery series. The Seven Serpents was a brutal book though.

  I always thought Fighting Fantasy (which I love), was the final say in gamebooks.<br>And then I read Joe Dever&apos;s <i>Lone Wolf.</i> <br>The mechanics and world building of those books, has no equal. <br>Blood Sword, is another corker, as well.
