Choose-your path adventure stories
Okay, two questions:

1) Did anyone else here love the buggery out of these "if x, turn to page y" stories when they were kids, or still do?

2) Would you participate in one, here at EP, if I (or someone else) wrote one up? It would probably be a collective choice thing, with whoever posted a response first making the choice on behalf of the players. (So, situation Z is presented, and people choose option A or option B, as applicable)

/puts hand up.
Though, I was rather young when I played most of them (mostly the Fighting Fantasy series) and I tended to have heaps and heaps of bookmarks so I could see the situation with every decision.

I would if I got the time and maybe depending on the amount of text.
I did one a very long time ago, though it's not like one of those books, rather more of a visual novel type thing.  If you're interested: http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthr...503&page=1
Probably a good idea to start another one ;P

Same

i think i read one with indiana jones in it, man isn't that a weird premise for the book xD.

and before you ask, no, you aren't indiana jones; you're some 12 year old kid that befriends him. Bummer.

Spoiler for Story of My life:
Quote:I'm 20 and I was a computer/electrical engineer major. I was into my third year and I had a year and a half to go.

Then 1 day as I am doing my programming homework and figuring out what the hell was wrong with my code,

I thought to myself 'spoon, i don't want to do this for the rest of my life.'

So I changed majors and now I am a proud music (vocal) education major. The point is do what you want to do in life. Cause its your life don't let anyone hold you back.

RE: Choose-your path adventure stories
my teacher in grade school was advised us to read the Choose your own adventure stories, ive remembered there are lots of these in our local bookstore, ive owned a choose your own adventure with the alien encounter story, the book style is like more of a text rpg which you will choose what path is good for you, nice alternative for old days who does not own a gameboy
