![]() I think the android was called Chip, but I've no idea which company published that story. I don't know how popular gamebooks are at the moment, but there's a community of people who enjoy interactive fiction software. There are a number of programs for writing them, including Inform 7. You can grab a ton of games from the Interactive Fiction Database - most of which can be run using a program like Gargoyle. Update: Dave Morris and Jamie Thomson have now given permission for this project to use the text of the Fabled Lands books! They also gave permission for people to create and freely distribute PDF versions of the books these are available at the Yahoo Fabled Lands group. This is the Fabled Lands App project ("flapp") Russ Nicholson has also graciously granted permission to include the illustrations, even after I (rather idiotically) neglected to ask in the first place. This project was registered on on Apr 29, 2009, and is described by the project team as follows:Īn adaptation of the Fabled Lands gamebook series: travel through a fantastic world, amassing skill, wealth, and fame, while avoiding sudden death. Presents the complete text to maintain the spirit of the original.

The exact license terms used by this project on their project summary page and in the licensing documents included in their downloads. As someone who's read lots of the FF series, I'd still recommend Fabled Lands over FF, esp.
