The game is exactly as it woz (all those years ago!) and not only are the original b&w artworks here, but new colour reworkings as well. The nostalgic feel of the game is perfect.There are options for background music and sound effects, as well as a great series of 30 achievements ranging from difficult to amusing. There are also Steam trading cards for this game.This game is rather more linear than most, with two distinct sections. I believe it was originally two shorter adventures combined into one longer story.This game is extremely combat heavy, as well as requiring certain correct path choices to find items. The standard Adventurer mode is tough, even with high initial scores, and the hardcore Hero mode is brutally difficult (near impossible) even with the highest possible starting scores, so there is plenty of (frustrating) replay value in this one.TinManGames have produced five of the original FF games as standalone titles (more about them elsewhere) and this is a very good installment.. Game ratingInnovation: Extremely poorIndulgement qualities: Above averageIllustration: Below averageCreativity and writing qualities: Above averageOverall size: Medium. A very nice port of one of the Fighting Fantasy books I grew up with as a kid. It's just like reading the book, but without throwing the dice and your pen & paper. Now the game does that for you!The biggest feature is the 'bookmark', which is basically a SAVE function midstory. If you die (and yes, you will die now and then) you can just go back to your bookmark and continue from there. Or just use it if you think you've made a huge mistake or just want to know what might have happened if you made a different choice ;-)Fun for everyone who read the book(s) or is interested in RPG or fantasy, no matter what age.. A great port of the Fighting Fantasy book, stuff like dice-rolling and keeping track of your stats and items are all done automatically so you can focus on the story. This one doesn't have a map though.Caverns of the Snow Witch in particular is pretty long, maybe double the length of Forest of Doom, but be warned: this book is very unfair. Many strong monsters in this one, including an unavoidable fight against a SKILL 12 monster. Low SKILL characters have no chance of making it to the end.. Not if you are running Linux, it does'nt work!. I love love love the Fighting Fantasy game books from the 80's\/90's The "choose your own adventure" books were incredible and seeing them transformed on all types of platforms really makes me happy.Please make Warlock of firetop mountain and City of Thieves as well!.

Good low replayability interactive e-book-like game where you are the hero.I like those, they remind me of when I was a teenager and was reading the real deal. To compensate for eye-ruining screens, they have included special effects, especially sound effects.Buy only if you like books where you are the hero.
