It's another which book question but I remember reading a gamebook when younger and early in the book you were in a corridor with the floor pattern of stars and hands.
You could ignore the pattern, walk on the stars or walk on the hands... If you walked on the hands you had to fight the hand.
What book was it because I thought it was Citadel but it wasnt.

...and it's a room, not a corridor.
Yes, I've finally contributed something, don't take it away please! /self-deprecating humour

I am certain it is Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Para 311? Sorry, I didn't realise two people had answered this already. Sorry! |

There's no need to apologise, especially as your answer was more specific. I believe that the para in question also comes with a jazzy little drawing. Slightly off topic, but I still enjoy comparing my solutions to yours, so I am wondering what your general impression was regarding pop. Any personal thoughts on how you think it fared in the series, in context of enjoyability and gameplay? |

Got it sitting in my study, unfortunately the little 1 year old menace has made it hard for me to get around to actually reading it! Flicking through, I have to agree that the illustrations are absolutely abysmal and the paper quality quite disappointing. Will share my thoughts in the next week or so once i've read it. |

It nice to hear from Champskees as I wondered if we had been abandoned.
I was so disappointed with The Port Of Peril I rushed off a solution at breakneck speed and never touched it again. I think I need another look to make sure my solution is rational. My feeling was to include enough story at the beginning to make the book make sense. Also near the end I believe you should have the pistol fixed otherwise it would not fire even though this is not addressed in the text.
