DD was well scary

Most of them were, but still read them

There were some white ones... these ones, which were a bit tamer

The only ones I really remember reading were goosebumps ones as a kid. There was one that was about a scary night at a circus...and you could die every few pages. It drove me nuts!
Glad to know I am not the only one. I wonder if the inventors of these books knew their audience:-P

I had a Transformers adventure book, I'm pretty sure I cheated as well as reading it cover to cover once, made no sense at all.

I had one based on the Knightmare TV show. It was awesome.

I had a couple of those, they were great

My cousin in Malaysia had a few of these and I flicked through Citadel of Chaos and Armies of Death.

Some of the illustrations scared me

I remember I never once used the dice or used the 'Adventure Sheet', always 'won' the fights and checking all the options... I even remembered a password from COC! :/

Will have to check out some Charity shops and trying playing them properly

I was watching Family Guy the other day. Peter is in bed reading one of the choose your own adventure books. He is reading along, makes his choice, dies and then immediately says to Lois... 'I still had my finger on the page!...........' and turns back

If I could remember which episode it was I would try and find the clip.
