For me this was not only a great book as a kid but this art on the cover is burnt into my childhood memories. I loved it.

Got struck by a hit of nostalgia when I found a game version of this book on Steam. I had read it when I was very young, after stealing it from my brother's collection.
Unfortunately, I had only the memory that this one wasn't very good compared to other books from this series, and having re read it now I seem to have confirmed that same memory. It just isn't as great as others, you don't feel like you have much choice here, everything is much more linear.
It's still fun, though.

Silly, Nostalgic and much more straightforward compared to the first book, yeah the story is cliche but sometimes you just need an adventurer fighting goblins in a forest.
My favourite part was beating the guy at an arm wrestling contest and him solemnly giving me his prized possession

One of the better 'fighting fantasy' books out there.

Better use of red herrings and tricks than the first two books. Making a map really helped me, and rationing my supplies- I did have to take a second lap, but the gameplay allowed this without failing which felt like a bigger achievement when I finally finished! Thrilling and nostalgic

(Played the Tin Man Games digital version.) Fun, although I imagine it would have been more frustrating without the map feature or drawing my own.

Another great FF title, and my third favorite. The circular nature of the story, permitting replays, combined with the variety of encounters and being able to shop for items at the start... chef's kiss.

I had a little craving to read some of those old school fighting fantasy books that I used to read (and cheat at) when I was a kid. So I found an app that did the some of the books (unfortunately, not the ones with Steve Jackson, which were the best) so I could reread the books and relive the action (and couldn’t cheat, lol)!
Because these are not your traditional novel, they’re a little harder to compare to a classic story, but I really enjoyed the reading and the action. The writing is fairly basic, but they do a good job of creating enough background and character info that you can get embroiled in the action easily enough.
