Choose your own adventure books
In a random conversation with Lana this evening the subject of choose your own novels came up (as you do). She revealed, shock horror, that she tended to cheat with them, taking note of the previous number and going back to it if she thought she'd gone down the wrong route, or ended up dead. I commented that I tended to do the same and as far as I was aware everyone did.
So the question is.. did you cheat or didn't you?

I left my finger in at the last paragraph, yeah. Never bothered with the dice rolling for the fights either. I reckoned I was hard enough to stuff every monster with one hand behind my back.
I was the hero after all. This list brings back memories: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...tasy_gamebooks

Still have about 10 of them stored away. Personal faves were Freeway Fighters and Deathtrap Dungeon.

Got so many fond memories of them all though.
