Back in the 1980s, solo adventure gamebooks hit the market with the impact of a hula hoop, sold like popcorn for a few years, then dropped out of sight. They’ve remained a minority interest ever since then... until now.

What’s changed is technology, notably the development of the app. You can now play a gamebook on your smart phone, tablet or computer, with all the fun of the original, but all the boring bits (like making dice rolls and calculating stats) done for you.

I’m prejudiced, since Tin Man has just recently brought out The Complete Sagas of Fire*Wolf, based on my Demonspawn series of gamebooks and offering all four adventures in a single app. There was some soul searching in advance about the (approx $10) price point, but the app’s been out there long enough by now to show value for money wins out over cost.

The question now is, are we poised for a gamebook revival, in electronic form? Watch this space...
