3) Slaves of Rema - Solution

[champskees]

Slaves of Rema is a good example of how this gamebook system can be used. Drawing inspiration from both Roman & Greek mythology, the writer places the reader into a fairly believable predicament reminiscent of the film Gladiator. I enjoyed reading this book & believe it to be very well balanced; a character with minimum Fitness could still complete this adventure quite easily. Another great dimension of the book is its replayability; there are essentially three main winning paths to follow, which adds a lot more value to this book in comparison to its predecessors. All in all, a good read & a lot of fun.

Man, are you writing all of them? I love you! I'll be looking forward to hear the solution of Catacombs of the Undercity.

[champskees]

I have only bought the first 4 so far, but i'll probably buy the rest in future. Truth is, the main ff titles are still giving me a lot of work & having recieved titles 63-65 for Christmas, i'll probably stick to them for a while. But you never know, I won't be back at work till the end of this month so fingers crossed.

[slloyd14]

Thanks for the solutions! They're great. My favourite has to be the magic route.
