I love that a 1986 #ChooseYourOwnAdventure book noted that Christopher Columbus was a slimeball.

Adapting a visual novel's #artbook into a #CYOA story is truly the most incredible use of both mediums I have ever seen.
The coolest approach possible, wishing Black Tabby Games all the best with their projects🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Сторонник свободного программного обеспечения, свободного интернета и распределённых сетей. За минимальное вмешательство государства в жизнь граждан (но не либертарианство), легализацию проституции, порнографии и добровольного рабства (да #bdsm тоже входит в список моих интересов) и свободное ношение оружия. Против эвтаназии, смертной казни и легализации наркотиков. Политические взгляды скорее лево-центристские.
Интересуюсь мировой историей ( #история древнего мира, античности и доколумбовой Америки, средневековая история западной и северной Европы и Руси, #культура и история кочевых народов), а также культурой и экономикой стран юго-восточной Азии. Довольно очевидно из всего вышесказанного, что я анимешник, менее очевидно, что ещё я люблю #фильмы, #книги и #сериалы ( #обзоры здесь тоже будут), настольные ролевые ( #dnd #pathfinder #cyoa ) и компьютерные #игры.
Также планирую использовать присутствие здесь для тренировки и изучения иностранных языков.
It’d be amazing to see these secret endings preserved in a more accessible format — maybe even printable inserts to tuck inside the paperbacks themselves as bookmarks, hopefully better than my lame mockup! 😜 [4/4]
The original links are long gone, but thanks to the Internet Archive, many of those endings are still viewable... though they require Flash 😬. [3/4]
What makes these early editions extra special? Each one had a “Secret Online Ending” — accessible via the official CYOA website back in the day. [2/4]
Scored 3 used #ChooseYourOwnAdventure books at Goodwill from the 2005 Chooseco relaunch era! These feature the original white background & “notched” double frame design, later replaced in 2007 with full-cover style currently used. [1/4]
#textallion is a tool for creating #cyoa (choose your own adventure), for unix/linux, using #LaTeX and #txt2tags. It can support at least 60000 chapters with hypertext links and probably much more.
The source for this test file is 40 Mb, and the resulting pdf file around 70 Mb.
From Jimmy Maher, the Digital Antiquarian, an in depth look at the Choose Your Own Adventure series of gamebooks created by Edward Packard and published from 1979-1998 (original series) https://www.filfre.net/2025/09/choose-your-own-adventure/ #interactiveFiction #books #gamebooks #CYOA
📖 Just started “Cryptid Chronicles: Mothman,” the new #ChooseYourOwnAdventure by Cristin Bishara (July release). First ending hit hard:
💀 “Someday… when human remains are found deep in the mine shaft, they are yours.”
THE END.
