Re: Choose Your OOT Adventure: Chapter One
I had an asston of Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid. I loved them. I also had collections of several series of gamebooks, that basically stole/expanded-on the CYOA concept. These usually included 1) the traditional CYOA decision tree, and 2) a very simple gameplay system involving die-rolling or coin-flipping game and keeping track of your life total.
I know I had some books from each of these series in that collection: Wizards, Warriors & You Swordquest AD&D Super Endless Quest Lone Wolf Fighting Fantasy I'm sure I'd find the game play stupid now, having been spoiled by years of CRPGS, but they were the nut high when I was ~11. On a lark, I passed them out the week before Christmas to classmates in high school (after which I'm sure they were promptly thrown away, and my reputation as a geek was even further entrenched). Now that I have kids of my own, this decision seems very regrettable, and thus this thread makes me sad.

Re: Choose Your OOT Adventure: Chapter One
Guys, you are going to think I'm retarded, but I am so excited!! I just found out I didn't give any of my gamebooks away, just my Choose Your Own Adventure books. I actually had all my books from the various series I listed, plus Endless Quests, Hero's Challenge, Sorcery, etc. in the garage, and it wasn't until my wife told me that I remembered. I have over 75 of these suckers - YAUS!
When do you think my son will be old enough to enjoy these? 8? 10?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't want to start this argument again, but really man, think of what a 5 year old actually looks like. I could see your reasoning with 9 year olds, but 5 year olds don't have any muscle strength or coordination, and are extremely weak.
