Fighting Fantasy Box Set: Gamebooks 1-8 (Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Citadel of Chaos, Deathtrap Dungeon, Creature of Havoc, City of Thieves, Crypt ... Hell, Forest of Doom) (Fighting Fantasy, 1-8) Paperback – 6 Nov. 2003

Bought for my son, but he's way too young yet. Much better than the new online versions that can be downloaded onto iPads - can't beat a traditional pen, paper and dice for this stuff.

Arrived quickly and exactly as described.

A cool collection of Fighting Fantasy paperback gamebooks, one to eight in the series, in one packet. I rate each one as thus:1: Warlock of Firetop Mountain - Underground cave exploration. 3 out of 5 stars.2: Citadel of Chaos - Dangerous castle adventure. 3 out of 5 stars.3: Deathtrap Dungeon - Subterranean maze exploration. 4 out of 5 stars.4: Creature of Havoc - Epic revenge crusade. 5 out of 5 stars.5: City of Thieves - Cool city adventure. 4 out of 5 stars.6: Crypt of the Sorcerer - Kill an evil wizard quest. 4 out of 5 stars.7: House of Hell - Escape a haunted house. 3 out of 5 stars.8: Forest of Doom - Journey though an evil forest. 3 out of 5 stars.

I remember these being published in the 1980s. As a 10 year old, I loved the books as they gave me an alternative to the twee rubbish that our teachers tried to get us reading. To play properly, you need a pencil and a pair of dice. They have aged marvellously - like a fine wine. I gave a few of these to a 10 year old who is a reluctant reader. He cheats in battles by simply winning them all and loves them. Even cheating, success isn't guaranteed. I love these and would recommend them to anybody who really wants to interact with their reading. Additionally, from a technical perspective, the quality of writing is fantastic.

THIS IS 4 STARS COS YOU CAN GET A 10 BOOK BOX SET!! ([])I Recommend:-City of Thieves (Fighting Fantasy Gamebook 5)-Caverns of the Snow Witch (Fighting Fantasy Gamebook 10)-Armies of Death (Which is like "LORD OF THE RINGS" film)-Bloodbones (Which is like "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" film)And.....THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY..... which is like you know what!all the books were made before the films FIRST in the 1980s! (Go figure)

I used to have loads of these books when I was a kid (and I still do) and it's great to see that they have been re-released. If your like D&D but can't be bothed to get together with group of people to play then these books are for you! And what great value for money! books 1-8 in a box set for less than £25!!!! You would have to be mad not to get this set!

Was not even remotely what they claimed it would be. What I received was:Crypt of the sorcererThe Shamutanti HillsCaverns of the Snow Witchthe Crown of KingsReturn to Firetop MountainIsland of the Lizard KingLegend of ZagorEye of the DragonDidn't have them so I'm ok with it but just sad over the false advertising.

これは、英国・Wizard Booksより復刊中の「ファイティングファンタジー」１～８巻です。１：火吹山の魔法使い２；バルサスの要塞３：死のワナの地下迷宮４：モンスター誕生５：盗賊都市６：甦る妖術使い７：地獄の館８：運命の森１と２は、2005年春、扶桑社より復刊されました。『ソーサリー』も、創土社より全巻復刊されてます。日本のゲームブック復刊も応援しませんか？

Same problem that William McQuown had earlier this month; what I received was not what I ordered. For me, the unboxed substitute titles are not acceptable.

迫力あるイラストが描かれたボックスはなんとも言えないすばらしい出来です。そうそう、中身もすごいんです。現在では入手困難な「Creature of Havoc」（モンスター誕生）や「Crypt of The Sorcerer」（甦る妖術師）が、手に入ちゃうんです。遊んでみたいけど、手に入らないという方、このセットボックスを手にしてみてはいかがですか。
