Gamebook list

This is a list of the gamebooks I plan to review. Note the absence of Lone Wolf 21 onwards - although I used to own several of these, I sold them because a) they were worth quite a bit and b) I didn't like them!

  1. That's an impressive list. I look forward to reading your reviews.

    It's OK - you can get the other Lone Wolf books for free from Project Aon if you ever feel the need to review them.

  2. OMG!
    I grew up with these books in the early 80's. As a young artist I would copy and enlarge these pictures to A2 size, still have some of them.
    What a trip down memory lane, THANKyou for these reviews!!!!!!
