I was a fan of the ZORK "text based" PC games and played them for many hours. I did not know these books had been written and although they are better read by someone understanding ZORK from back when, they are still fun to work your way through today. The different "scenario choices" offer entertainment for young and the old-young adventurers.
A fun but short knock off of the "choose your own adventure" books. Read, choose, turn page, die or win the adventure.
A choose your own adventure book, all the rage again apparently
