House Of Horror
|
Hi again. I've just arrived at Section 23 of House Of Horror. One of the options available is "Use the set of lock-picks", but I have not found a set of lock-picks.
|
This one isn't a bug, as you may since have discovered. |

And "Killed by a dragon." and "Killed by a manticore." do not count as different endings, before some smart-alec points it out! :-) |

Hi, I've just finished Bodies In The Docks. (On my first go, albeit I was lucky to get Skill 12 and even so I only had 1 Stamina at the end!) Anyway, I was just wondering: You know how Lair Of The Troglodytes has several endings, ranging from kinda-ok to "Go me!"? Do any of the other adventures have multiple endings? |
Outsider has about half a dozen fairly positive endings, but only one (or maybe two) 'best' ending(s) which are well worth tracking down. Incidentally, dying in the sewer many years later is not one of the 'best' endings. |

Bodies In The Docks
|
Just a small thing but I think paragraph 15 in Bodies In The Docks has a "who's" that should be a "whose".
|
You're right. I have now corrected it. Thanks. |

Outsider!
|
In the weapons room in Outsider, when I choose the mace, the screen is filled with 1s and 0s.
|
Yes, that was an odd one. I fixed that a few days ago, and I've just checked that it's stayed fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. |

Riders Of The Storm
|
Another bug I'm afraid, although this one is rather amusing. I was fighting the Trinitour in Riders of the Storm, and every time he hit me I would gain one stamina point! Although this wonderful effect took me all the way from just 3 Stamina to 29, it can't possibly be intentional.
|
Got it. Thanks once again. |

Bodies In The Docks

Hey, great site!
I loved the setting and style (not to mention the skill choosing part) of "bodies in the docks", and have just played some of hellfire. Im now wondering if there are another gamebooks done by the same author of Bodies in the docks or similiar ones i can find.
|
The good news is that Simon Osborne is working on a sequel to Bodies In The Docks.
Many years ago, he also wrote a gamebook called Curse Of The Yeti which can be found on the downloads page. Be aware, though, that this is not representative of his later writing, and doesn't have anything in common with Bodies In The Docks.
As for similar gamebooks, I don't know the answer. I suggest asking at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gamebooks. |

Site Update
I've added Bodies In The Docks to the Downloads page.
As Hugh Eldred-Grigg's website, The Realms of Shabak seems to have disappeared, I've removed the links to it. If it ever returns, I'll restore them. |

"I think that 'Bodies in the Docks' needs to be more balanced. Encountering 2 'Deep Ones' at Sk: 10 St: 24 and Sk:9 St: 28"
I agree. If there's no way past them or no way to weaken them, then it is completely ridiculous!

I think that 'Bodies in the Docks' needs to be more balanced. Encountering 2 'Deep Ones' at Sk: 10 St: 24 and Sk:9 St: 28 means fighting simultaneously against two creatures either one of whom would be stronger than the average PC. This comes immediately after fighting two cultists . . . what's the point in this? Just to kill the player? If I wanted a game that relied entirely on dice rolls I would play Ludo.

Hi!
I just wanted to know wherther any other girls play fighting fantasy except me and my sister! Anyone?
I've completed the book The house of hell twice, but The house of horror is really hard. I've only just found this site, but i think its gr8! |

Playing with the fbook software makes things a lot more difficult since you never get any hint about alternative ways which are dependent on carrying some special item. I've played House of Horror but finally gave up the fbook system and tried the text file. Having the pure text was actually a helping hand in this adventure. |
Yes, the online version is often harder for this reason. But I think it makes more sense for the text not to mention items that the central character has no knowledge of. |

Hi again, I really like this site and have completed "Lair of the Troglodytes", "Midnight Deep" and "House of Horror" (though I had to cheat by downloading the original Word document for that one).
However, I seem to have fallen over a bug in Outsider. I was fighting Fiorentino when he drank one of his healing potions, and since he was giving me a hard time I tried drinking some of my own, but the game got into a state where nothing but the Adventure Sheet was displayed on the screen. |
Thank you for spotting this bug. I've put in a workaround which is to disable the USE button in this situation, but I will have a think about a better solution. |

Hello,
Great web site. Fighting fantasy is fun but I find the best bit is being wiped out in the most gory circumstances possible. If you are like minded or just want to read though some of the tradgic ending FF has to offer, please visit my group.

Many thanks, superbly captures the essence of the original FFs.
Only complaint is you can't cheat! ;oP |
