Matt Wed Sep 15 14:40:20 2004 General Chat	Great site - but it would be good to see some of the 'classics' like Warlock, Citadel of Chaos, FOrest of Doom, The Crypt etc.
	Cheers. This would only happen if the writers gave permission and provided me with electronic copies, and as they are still attempting to sell them I don't think that this is likely. Not that I've asked admittedly. I'm more interested in the amateur gamebooks than the originals anyway.

Thanks to Elric for the link above http://www.projectaon.org.

The first serie where I was talking about you being a samourai is called Kai... and yes, it can be downloaded at that link.

I haven't played an FF book in years! This is fantastic!
Congrats on writing such an exemplary piece of software.

I won't rest until I've conquered all these online versions of novels I haven't read/played since I was a kid.

Here's to many sleepless nights, trying to decide "West, or east? West or east?!"

	Are you sure? I had a look and it seems OK.

Matt Sat Sep 18 09:26:35 2004 General Chat	These aren't online versions of the old books. They are new adventures that the guy has come up with, some appear to be loosely based on certain books...
	Well, yes. As it says on the front page. Also, I only made the website, the books were written by eight different authors.

Fair enough. But I find these amateur ones you have posted fiendishly difficult.

I am sure the originals were easier!!!

To a large extent that is down to the online format, in the original text you tend to get told what object you would have needed in certain situations. It's also a little harder to cheat. Occasionally the format makes a given puzzle slightly easier, but far more often it has the opposite effect. But yes, sometimes the original is exceptionally difficult, for example Hellfire.

If you prefer the easier games, I would recommend starting with The Trial Of Allibor's Tomb, Lair Of The Troglodytes (which is harder but very short), or maybe Outsider (which apart from an early difficult section is much less arbitrary than any of the others).

Midnight Deep

I really enjoy playing the various adventures here. Wanted to tell you about an error I encountered while playing Midnight Deep though. (Sorry - I didn't have time to note the damned reference number!) It was while trying to sneak into the city of Tempest via some sewer grate. I had 7 luck points remaining and had to test. The computer rolled a 7 and I was told I was unlucky! Wondering if maybe the sequence of events was out of whack here - did it lower my luck, then make the test?

Jeff Sinasac Thu Oct 14 01:09:00 2004 Midnight Deep	Huh. Actually, it's occurred several times in different adventures now. Have I been playing wrong all these years? You test your luck, THEN the luck lowers by one, right? Here it seems to lower, then test, which basically means you're permanently at 1 less Luck point than you should be...
	No, you're right. I've fixed it now though.

Phil Sadler Fri Oct 15 06:43:20 2004 Riders Of The Storm	I think I've just spotted another small flaw in Riders of the Storm. The flaw is to do with the fight against The Creature (stupid name I know). Anyway, in the book version you are supposed to lose a die of skill for the fight. However, in the online version you always seem to deduct 6 points?
	In fact this is working correctly - but I can see why you think it isn't. The die is rolled earlier than you think.

You know what, I'm still not sure that 'hiding' options in these online books is a very good idea. I'm pretty sure it just makes the adventures too difficult.
