Fighting Fantasy Classics

Läsning OCH spel i ett...vad kan bli fel? Appens bokhylla ser inbjudande ut och böckernas priser får väl anses skäliga, inte minst för att Tin Man Games haft den goda smaken att inte göra tillägg eller förändringar i originalböckernas innehåll eller layout. Detta är alltså böckerna som man minns att man läst dem, inte någon tafflig Remake med ny eller förändrad story... Kul oxå att just Dödens Labyrint och Tjuvarnas Stad ingår. De var mina personliga favoriter då de släpptes på svenska i pappersform. Dags att återigen hälsa på baron Sukumvit och den där Nikodemus...

I’ve recently played with the OG books, but this app is so good! 😍

Only one thing: You should have made it possible to import your own portraits. That’s what we did you know. Scribbled our own character art on the edges of the page sheet. So happy these are back in an easily accessible format! Way to go guys!

For those of us that grew up with this- 10 out of 10. For those of you who haven’t come across this but love RPG and story-based games, this is the original and best.

I had these in the 1980s as a kid and not only re-lived the excitement (and frustrations) but so great they kept the original top notch illustrations! Excellent job

Great nostalgia trip and looking forward to more books to be included like Scorpion Swamp and Midnight Rogue. My only gripe is that there doesn’t appear to be an option for clearing the map of a book you have already read so either myself or a family member can have a fresh adventure.

Firstly, I wish to express condolences to the app makers and the community for the recent passing of Russ Nicholson. His illustrations helped practically define the fighting fantasy books with his vibrant and captivating images, both capturing the grimness of the fantasy world depicted as well as illustrating the worlds the player was launched in crystal clear detail. Onto the app itself- I enjoy the series very much having recently brought a few copies and played through them. I don’t have the time or energy to scribble and write down stats these days, and so I’m glad that on the app, there is the free read mode that lets you re-roll, as well as the jostling dice physics to keep flipping over the dice until you reach the number you want. Sometimes I just want to see what happens in the story and not be screwed just because I didn’t have the one item I needed because I turned left instead of right at a junction and so forth. That would be the only downside to the gamebooks I say. I see that the app is updating with more releases and so I have one request, or two- could you add howl of the werewolf and sword of the samurai? Sword of the samurai is the only book I ever completed properly, and howl of the werewolf is no longer in print and is so rare and expensively sold by second hand price gougers that I can’t get a hold of it. Otherwise, a very enjoyable app and good fun. An unexpected treat brought to my attention thanks to the group on Facebook.

I loved these books as a kid. They are great to relive. Would have given five stars except they have only 14 books. Why not upload some more books?

I love the presentation in FF Classics of the books. Like others I'm was a disappointed that I've had to rebuy individual titles bcos previous near-identical apps no longer run. I was playing Warlock of Firetop Mountain live on stream and there seemed to have a problem with the gold pieces not being recorded on the sheet or in memory, thus taking away all options to use gold within the game - frustrating and game breaking (when playing medium Adventurer difficulty where options are controlled). Please fix this! ( iOS 15.7.1 iPad Pro)

I love these gamebooks when I was younger first editions (showing my age) and then finding out you can download them on to your iPhone was like heaven. I have purchased some single books on here and still have them but some have been taken off the Tin Man Games list. My question is will there be more games added to the classics collection?
