There are already quite a
few sites offering gamebook reviews, or gamebook playthroughs, and
most of them are more interesting and entertaining than anything I
could offer. One of my own favourites just now is Malthus Dire's Fighting Fantasy page.
Few gamebook review sites
offer reviews in the format of centuries-old Japanese poetry,
however. I intend to remedy that. And so, here are my three haiku
gamebook reviews of the day.
THE WARLOCK OF FIRETOP
MOUNTAIN, by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone
Psycho treasure hunt.
North, south, east, west
- frustrating.
Sit on chest and weep.
ROBOT COMMANDO, by the
other Steve Jackson
Robots in disguise
Fight enemies of the
state.
Wake up, sleepyheads!
NIGHT OF THE NECROMANCER,
by Jonathon Green
Ghost adventurer -
Patrick Swayze with a
sword.
Choose a new body.
