Book 12: Space Assassin
Try 1
Skill: 9 Stamina: 21 Luck: 9 Armour: 10 (+ 2 extra points from the armour an weapons roll.) Starting Weapons: Assault Blaster, Grenade
I wondered around and cracked a coloured button code. I blasted my way through the creatures as all were very weak. I got teleported onto the planet and stayed there for a long time wandering around and around in circles. When I got off I found my way all the way to Cyrus and defeated his Waldo and captured him!
Victory!

I was worried about this one as I don't like Sci Fi and the only gamebook I had done with that kind of Sci Fi was Starship Traveller. The adventure was okay but I found it boring and tedious with less depth than most. I did enjoy being able to do more than 2 points of damage.
Next up: Freeway Fighter!

Skill: 9
Stamina: 31
Luck: 7
Firepower: 9

I zoomed out guns blazing and blasting through a red chevvy. I then ended up finding a bridge with no entry sign and automatically assuamed that it was the way to go. My car was blown to Smithereens.
Defeat!

I got a lot further and ended up freeing that leader of New Hope before running out of petrol just after being attacked by a man on a railway bridge. Why they don't give you petrol spares to start off with? I don't know!
Defeat!

I found the Race Track wich I think was the coolest bit of the adventure. A Demolition Durby. It was exciting! I got through the Doom Dog camp and made it to the Animal before being killed in a one on one duel.
Defeat!

I enjoyed that adventure. I thought dashing around in a car doing duels and so on was quite fun! I really enjoyed the demolition durby. And I wish a lot of the things it said about 2022 were true. Like 3 day working week Solar power England in the Football Finals!! Just hopefully Covid doesn't go in quite the same way as that disease  |

Book 14: Temple of Terror
Try 1
Skill: 12 Stamina: 18 Luck: 12
I thought it was victory for sure and hurried through the book, but I missed the copper ring so I sealed my doom as when I got to Malbordus he knocked my skill to 9 and then we dueled. I through incredible luck got him down to 3 using luck 12, but I just couldn't quite make it and fell. Lesson learnt: get Copper Ring!
Defeat!

This and Space Assassin I managed first try having never done them before. In both cases I was relieved because I don't really want Sci Fi ones to drag on to long, but I still feel that an adventure that kills you almost immediatly while irritating still makes you want to do it again more. and is more exciting. I don't know whether I am just good at working out the best thing to do or whether they really are hard to lose but I don't really feel like ever doing it again because it was fairly dull. I like gun combat but mostly the action is testing your skill.

I find The Rings of Kether to be one of the more replayable FF books because of the variety of viable routes through the first half or so of the book. Often, having to follow the exact same route every single time, failing because of an unfavourable roll of the dice, gets tiresome.

I went from 19 Stamina to 1 before victory! I got 809 gold and reached Nippur with 50 days on the log 10 used to restore stamina! I fought the gaurdien with 1 stamina and eventually reached the top just in time.

Made it to the end with one clue as to what day the meeting was on. Wouldn't you already know the day so failing if you don't have that clue is ridiculous also failing because you don't know when it is. Why can't you just wait?

Wasn't overly impressed with this book as I don't really like Superheroes so I will skip on doing the other three superpowers and move on to anothe Sci Fi one. Then it will finally be Titan again!
