In truth, this could well be the defining pirate adventure of the 1980s with the notable flaw of his convention-breaking - the book doesn't follow a traditional chronology. On one page, I am soaring majestically through the seas, only to discover an ancient treasure, and on the next I am fighting pirate hordes using dice (which seem a very poor manner of combating the dread folk of the sea!) with mentions of my imminent demise dozens of times all to culminate in a happy ending with 'me' becoming ruler of Nippur.. which appears near the middle of the book. Madness. 2/10 stars.Aperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-19144035476503356282016-05-24T02:15:28.152+10:002016-05-24T02:15:28.152+10:00I don't recall exactly what I typed, but I rem...I don't recall exactly what I typed, but I remember it was inconsistent. One riddle you just typed the answer as the command and the other you had to put "say" first or some such thing.

I had played through about half of the book before it was misplaced into "Toddler Space". After it emerged, scorched and bent like it had been through the flames of hell itself, I did not get the chance to get back into it. <br /><br />If anyone really wants a review of the book, I can do it separately sometime and append it as a comment here. But, I think I've had enough of Fighting Fantasy for a while.Joe Pranevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997014242774219758noreply@blogger.com
