Choose your own adventure / fighting Fantasy genre
Did you or do you ever venture into these game books or similar ones?

Choose your own Adventure there is a story and you choose what happens next.

Fighting Fantasy You are a hero and you navigate the land or dungeon / castle / sea and fight and map and choose your direction and what you do.

Grailquest was a good one too the humor and the atmopshere they created was spot on for me back then.
I might play a Grailquest later today.

I read a couple "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Notably, the "Cave of Time".

There's (at least) a couple games on Steam that emulate the feeling. 'Long Live the Queen' and 'Suzerain'.

Deathtrap Dungeon was a pretty good book if you had no friends to play D&D with.

The first FF book I played was Deathtrap Dungeon and talk about atmosphere for my little mind back then.
Like somebody said good for solo'ing the DnD. I added stats and adventures to my collection to make campaign playing and progression.

I had a lot of them mainly from car boot sales everybody kept buying those type of books for me because they were always so cheap there(and i was generally polite).

The first Choose your own adventure book series i played was Mountain Survival and a Robin hood one.

What Fighting Fantasy or Choose your own adventure type book would you make?

Lone Wolf. A bit more complex than 'CYOA' what with keeping track of stats and all.

Nightmares of one where there was dolphin aliens who could talk, and if you betrayed one of them you would end up trapped in your body with an assembly line in front of you as it mindlessly screwed in a lugnut over and over again for some brain slave factory

They read this to us in elementary mind you

I read a few of those when I was a kid. It was fun to find all the different endings. I had a lot of the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine and he did a few choose your own adventure books.

In one about the Yeti , the guy i was playing offended a monk talking about reincarnation and I thought it was a genuine question the monk didn't need to get pissy about it.
He asked 'so we can come back as an ant then?'
The monk = not happy.

I think it was the yeti one anyway.

Goosebumps I did not read but saw they were popular at school. Wish I had now.

Lone wolf was good series too.
