Pah, actually 11 or 12 at the time and these books were all the rage as we would have to wait another 15 years before the internet became a ‘thing’ and the ‘choose your own adventure’ books gave us something to do while we waited 20 minutes for a game to load from the cassette machine on our Sinclair Spectrums (or Commodore 64 if you were posh). It was the art that had drawn me in…it took me back to my formative years, reading (playing?) The Warlock of Firetop Mountain book with a torch under the covers after mum had told me to go to sleep.
I knew I wanted to learn more about it, but didn’t actually know what it was and didn’t get chance to do any research at all before the event…and I am so glad I discovered it with no preconceptions or expectations. This game seemed to seep into my mind through a form of osmosis, and I can’t put my finger on exactly when it first got in there, but it wriggled more and more over the weeks leading up to UK Games Expo.
