Fighting Fantasy Books - The excellent series of interactive fiction

I read my first Fighting Fantasy Book back when I was a young boy at school and I soon became addicted to their quirkyness and originality. They allow you to play in a world much like you would on a computer game today, however all in the space of one book, they didnt need state of the art technology, all they required was a love for fantasy, a set of dice, and a creative imagination, where there were no pictures.

My favorite book out of all had to be Deathtrap Dungeon, which was also released on the PC as a video game.

A little bit about what Fighting Fantasy Books are all about

Fighting Fantasy books are a fiction fantasy book with a difference as you take control of the lead character and are thrown into a world where you can only carry on if your character stays alive. You play the character whilst reading the book and you decide hoe the book pans out by taking choices and making decisions as to what direction to go next.

A little bit about my recommendation to start your collection:

DeathTrap Dungeon: Book Description

Fighting Fantasy is the brilliant series of adventure gamebooks in which YOU are the hero! All you need is a pencil and eraser to make the journey and decide which route to take and which dangers to risk. Down in the dark, twisting labyrinth of Fang, unknown horrors await you. Devised by the devilish mind of Baron Sukumvit, the labyrinth is riddled with fiendish traps and bloodthirsty monsters, which will test your skills almost beyond the limit of endurance. Should you come out of the labyrinth alive, you will be wealthy beyond your dreams. Do YOU dare enter?

When it comes to Fighting Fantasy Books this is THE place to be

Deathtrap Dungeon is one of the most successful and popular of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, and one of the few to inspire a sequel, Trial of Champions, again by Ian Livingstone. A further follow-up, Armies of Death, follows the continuing exploits of the adventurer who completed Trial of Champions, although it is not set in Deathtrap Dungeon and bears little resemblance to the two first books.
