ffproject Sat Sep 20 07:07:26 2003 House Of Horror |
House Of Horror I have added Gaetano Abbondanza's gamebook to the site. House Of Horror has many elements in common with House Of Hell, including some familiar characters and situations. It's definitely a worthy tribute to Steve Jackson's book, and from what I remember of that, it compares very favourably. |

A very nifty site you've got here. Did you know that it's completely accessible to blind people? Well, it is! You're likely to see more of them dropping in now that the word has reached the Blindgamers list. Also, I've put a note about the site in the issue of Audyssey I just published. Number 38 should be posted to various web sites soon including the homepage at: http://www.audysseymagazine.org Thanks ever so much for helping blind people experience these kind of adventures. I was lucky enough to have a father who loved reading and playing the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks with me, but other blind people aren't so fortunate. Keep up the excellent work. Michael Feir, Editor of Audyssey |

Of course if I had re-investigated the links section I would have seen you have already been kind enough to link me. Doh! :-) |

Finally getting round to linking to your site on mine after much prevarication on other issues over the summer :-) Must agree with other posters that this is the best online adaption of FF adventures seen on the net :-) Hope you don't think it too cheeky of me to take the opportunity to drop a link to my FF site http://www.fightingfantasy.org while I am here. |

Hi, your site is excellent. What a great idea to put amateur gamebooks online and in such an easy way to play and enjoy. I've been a fan of Fighting Fantasy for years and I'm am a budding writer myself and would love it for my adventures to go online for other people to enjoy, I just haven't got the first idea how to do it. Is your site open to other ameteur writers stories? |
| If you have written any complete gamebooks, by all means send them to me. I'll be happy to put them on the downloads page and/or consider adapting them for online play. This goes for anyone else too. |

Afterlife Gavin Mitchell, author of Outsider, is toying with writing its 'sequel', Afterlife. Anyone who wants to see this happen should go to http://www.livejournal.com/users/vindice/26178.html?mode=reply , read what he's written so far, and offer encouragement. |

rory Mon Aug 25 08:30:53 2003 Midnight Deep |
yes that helped alot thankyou |
|
rory Mon Aug 18 05:02:13 2003 Midnight Deep |
well when i get to the ruins and try to go through the doors it say i cant and its game over what do i do |
|
I'm not keen to just give out answers as that obviously diminishes the games. But since you asked nicely, and because my adaptation effectively makes Midnight Deep harder than it was initially, here's some advice. Hopefully, armed with this you'll be able to solve the puzzle by yourself.
SPOILER
I hope that's enough to get you through the ruins. The second half of the game is much easier. |

rory Tue Aug 12 02:07:34 2003 Midnight Deep |
hi i love this site and i have played all the games you have just a couple of questions 1 do you plan on doing any more 2 would it be possible for you to make all the games you have done avalible for download? |
|
Thanks Rory. Are you saying that you've finished all the games? Even Hellfire?
To answer your questions: 1 - Yes. 2 - Anything's possible, but it's not as straightforward as you may think. I don't have any plans to do this in the forseeable future. However, you can download the gamebooks in their original format - see the 'downloads' and 'links' pages. |

ffproject Sat Jul 26 06:50:59 2003 The Trial Of Allibor's Tomb |
The Trial Of Allibor's Tomb Jeff Sinasac has sent me an updated version of his gamebook which includes several fixes. I've incorporated these into the online version and added the Word version to the Downloads page. |

Yep, the actual book was about pirates, but I always thought that a final, wrap-up book should be grander than that and somehow incorporate the series in a fashion. Plus, the thought of revisitng the various places of Allansia would be cool. Perhaps when I have time, I'll get around to working on it. But, for those of you out there looking for a concept to flex your creative muscles, what better way to begin than with a final, wrap-up interactive adventure? |

A year ago, I wrote the Introduction for what was to be the last book in the FF series: Bloodbones. You can read it by clicking the link below: http://www.geocities.com/robkatmatty2000/bbones.html |
| That's a very literal interpretation of the title (wasn't the actual book about pirates or something). Did you get any further with it? |

Like I said, I think what you do is fascinating, because this is related to what I do professionally. I'm a Senior Technical Writer, which means I get paid decent money to put people to sleep. Through our technical documentation, we cure more insomniacs than any medication on the market. Seriously, I would love to learn how you do this. I have written several adventures, in the Zork-type format, using a program called ALAN. I think people would be interested in this. Of course, it's your call, but if you have any pointers or tips you could share, I would greatly appreciate it. Keep the faith, Robsterman P.S. The link for The Two Towers interactive gamebook appears below: If you want to see the opening splashy screen, you can do so by clicking the linki below: http://www.geocities.com/robkatmatty2000/twotowers/intro.html Or, if you would rather access the adventure directly, you can do so, by clicking the link below: http://www.geocities.com/robkatmatty2000/twotowers/twotowers.html |

ffproject Fri Jul 11 18:47:15 2003 Rebels Of The Dark Chasms |
Rebels Of The Dark Chasms I've now got Steven Taylor's gamebook up and running. Rebels Of The Dark Chasms is a fairly short (150 references) spin-off of Chasms Of Malice in which you play a dwarf rebel attempting to rescue your captured leader, Aspra Smoothcheek. |

Three points. Point #1 -------- Thanks for the quick feedback. I have a sort-of FF adventure based on the Two Towers novel, by JRR Tolkein. Let me know if you would like to have the link, so it can be converted. Point #2 -------- Also, are you planning on converting some of the Steve Jackson/Ian Livingstone books? Point #3 -------- Do you have any source code or tutorials for people to do what you do? Keep the faith, Robsterman |
|
1 - I'm always interested to see amateur FF gamebooks, whether or not they turn out to be suitable for this site. So, yes, by all means let me have the link.
2 - I would imagine that any of the professional FF authors would prefer to keep on receiving money rather than let people read their work for free. So I don't see it happening. 3 - No. The thought did occur to me, but the game language is pretty low-level and the amount of people with both gamebook writing and software skills is probably very small. Writing a tutorial for such a small group didn't seem worth the effort. |

what an awesome site! I have an online FF-type book, called the Crypts of Confusion. You can find it by clicking the link below: http://www.geocities.com/robkatmatty2000/crypts/crypts.html If you can convert it to your actual playing program, that would be great. |

Rebels Of The Dark Chasms Steven Taylor has kindly given his permission for the adaptation of his gamebook - currently available at http://www.fightingfantasy.com - for online play. Expect it to be ready sometime over the weekend. |
