My first exposure to these kind of stories was when I was 7 or 8, with the goosebumps stories. I didn't get the concept right away, i guess I always glossed over the part where it told me what my options were, but I read the book like halfway through, page by page, and just kept getting mad that the story didn't make any sense before it finally clicked and I had to start over

What if I am already aroused!

Oh man, I had Invaders from Hark when I was a kid. Yeah, you died a lot in that. I think I had to work my way backward from the end page to figure out how to win.

Man, you should really be doing a CYOA in this thread

That Cave of Time CYOA had some pretty gruesome deaths if I recall

Actually, all of them were kind of scary to a kid

Quoth

you could also go vote on my serial

the current vote indicates that the character is going to end up in a pub

shenanigans will no doubt ensue

Somestickguy

Oh man, are there any more online versions of these cyoa books? This badlands one is pretty great, even if it lacks a "keep your finger in the last page" button..

You open the door and enter a chamber room. A strange man has made this room his kingdom, and also his prison. He says something to you:

"I think you should get a haircut"

"You arent wearing any pants!"

Spoiler:

http://www.bradthegame.com/ A text only chose your own adventure as kind of a day in the life of a guy named Brad. Some situations are a little NSFW but there is a lot you can do from finding pants, to falling in love, to defeating your evil shape shifting uncle and unlocking "hard mode". I played the hell out of this game way back in the day.

"You've won a faboulous trip to the fabled lands!"

Spoiler:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/flapp/ Free app to play the 6 released Fabled Lands books. Requires a download but keeps track of everything like rolling and ticking boxes for you. If you want to support the creators you can buy the books on Amazon or the first book for the ipad. They've said if there is enough interest they would write and release the remaining six books in the series. Definitely recommend giving this a try

I would also recommend Echo Bazaar but that is kind of an MMO and not all the situations are choose your own adventurey. Still its free and a lot of fun and we have a thread for it Here

Well how the crap am I gonna get my fighting fantasy fix

No way am I ordering any books

That ain't instant enough

I have grand dreams of writing the next evolution of CYOA books. Kind of a Harry Potter-audience targeted affair but instead of having multiple choices within each book, each release ends with a major cliff hanger and the reader can choose the result depending on which version of the next book to buy (like different versions of Pokemon games) with mostly the same story but varying details depending on the choice made.

Basically a ploy to make kids buy twice as many books.

Tommy2Hands

but you would also need like

a team of writers on that shit

because that is a lot of books

Quoth

james frey is putting together a sweat shop of writers

it's working all right for him so far i think

so hey, why not

Krentz

Nah just write one book with a bunch of blanks in it.

Then fill in with as many different options as you want!

"She expected to feel passion as they embraced, but she couldn't stop thinking about ______"

1) how he didn't warn the king of the assassins.
2) how he brutally murdered the assassins without remorse.
3) his prominent, throbbing member. (adult edition)

Cha-ching!
