That’s right – in this adventure, you’re not brave adventurer set on vanquishing the evil from the land. They weren’t kidding when they said it was unusual…įor starters, there was the little story on the first page.īlah blah evil is festering in the land blah blah evil necromancer blah blah legions of chaos blah blah bestial creature, ruled by hunger blah blah taste for fighting and flesh of other creatures blah blah you’re playing the creature bla…wait. In a display that would probably have my kids rolling their eyes in an “Ok dad, whatever…” sort of way if I told them, I rushed home, put my new computer game to one side, and dived into this book. Obviously, to learn more a purchase was required, so I quickly parted with the princely sum of £1.95 and the book was mine. The thing that REALLY stood out for me? The very first line on the blurb…ĪRE YOU READY FOR THE MOST UNUSUAL FIGHTING FANTASY ADVENTURE YET? Naturally, I gravitated towards a Fighting Fantasy book, and it was as I was browsing them that I found this new release – Creature of Havoc. I had just bought the computer game Feud for my Amstrad for the princely sum of £1.99 and was on the look out for something else. I was in town with my mum, and I had some pocket money burning a hole in…well….my pocket. This game is much better than it looks – trust me.Įleven year old me probably thought something similar when I first bought this back in *cough cough*. Upon doing so, I found that they had added a new book to the shelf… Yesterday I found myself waiting around for my daughter whilst she was visiting the doctors’, and rather than spending my time doomscrolling on Twitter and trying to avoid the urge to get involved in discussions with people who were losing their minds over the “startling revelation” that Critical Role was making quite a lot of money over on Twitch, I decided to fire up Fighting Fantasy Classics.

In terms of presentation, the app is lovely, with options for different fonts, new or classic versions of the illustrations and even a choice of atmospheric music. Much as I love the tactile feeling of books, and much as I have an enormous nostalgic love for the physical products – seriously, my bookshelf has all the originals bar two – this app is brilliant for things like long journeys on public transport or waiting around in a doctor’s surgery, needing as it does none of those new fangled internets.
