Charity shop again - 25p!!
I've never heard of this series before but I bought it because
1) I'll buy any second hand gamebook (from the 20th century) 2) My wee boy loves Mario!!
Anyway, we haven't played it yet ( My boy is tied up with my other purchase) but we will!!
Anyone else got any of this series?
Thoughts?

Thoughts? I haven't read it, but let us know what you make of it. I'm always looking around the charity shops but I never see gamebooks. Conclusion: A) Everyone in London loves their gamebooks too much to part with them. B) You and Mudworm live round the corner from me and get to them all first

I check out all the charity shops in Forfar & Montrose on a weekly basis (13 in total!) Over the past five years I've found 12 Gamebooks I didn't already have - pretty poor going for the effort I put in!! Curiously in all that time I have never found a single 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book , which considering how many of the things there were and how widely read they were is pretty odd. Anyway, The Nintendo book - My wee lad is enjoying it, although I have to read it aloud to him because the average length of a reference is about two pages and is a bit heavy going for a six year old. There is a blend of straightforward choices and also the occasional puzzle to solve. Sam also liked the fact that you have to make a note of equipment and coins that are found, he takes that part VERY seriously!!

I had (and presumably still have somewhere) one of the Zelda books. It was decent enough, some of the puzzles were pretty good if I recall correctly.
