What do you think of these FF Novel Plots?

Within the last 3 hours I've found several pages of notes that I'd made in August 1,998, so just over 22 years ago, on the plots of 2 Fighting Fantasy Novels, not Gamebooks, that I'd created that were set in the real-world, they both had several high-tech devices in them and 1 had a device you'd expect to see in A Sci-Fii movie. Here is the outlines of their plots. So what do you think of these FF Novel Plots?

The 1st 1 had a scene 40 years in our future in which the main hero was the last living member of the human race and vowed to go back in time and stop the madman whose experiments wiped out the human race and he succeeds, but then he himself dies due to the fact that due to the very dangerous nature of time travel he'd forgotten that he was the madman whose experiments wiped out the human, which means that in a way the main hero was also the main villain

The 2nd 1 had a unhinged scientist using devices that he had made to get revenge on the man who'd killed his entire family to animate the bodies of the unhinged scientists hunting trophies to slaughter the family of the man that had murdered his family, but in the end he realized that due to the fact that he was willing to murder Children as young as 4 whilst the man who'd killed his family had made sure that every member of the unhinged scientists family who was aged 9 or younger, which sadly meant only the unhinged scientist, meant that he was worse then the man who'd killed his family and in the end he died to save the family that for more then 14 years he'd being planning to have slaughtered and that he'd spend most of the last 51 hours trying to have slaughtered

In what way are these FF novel plots and not just novel plots?

As the plot ideas for those 2 novels were created 22 years ago even I can't remember but I do remember that at the time I loved Gamebooks, Sci-Fii Stories and Stories that involved Time Travel, which is why I'd guess that the 2 novels were intended to combine parts of both of my, at the time, 2 favorite types of story and my, at the time, favorite Series of Gamebooks

You know how some movies based on existing properties turn out to have little or nothing to do with the stories from which they purport to have been adapted? That's what we have here. And at the 'nothing' end of the scale. 

Even if you secretly gave the protagonist and opponents FF stats, used dice to play through the fights and situations where a Skill roll or a Test your Luck would be likely to occur in a gamebook, and wrote the scenes up according to how the dice fell (which I would not recommend as an authorial technique).

I would love to read a story written like that! (nae kidding!)
