Title: Fighting Fantasy on CPC
Post by: zhulien on 21:36, 27 April 24
I was looking through the Fighting Fantasy wiki and was surprised to see mention of 3 Fighting Fantasy games having been released on CPC.  Is that true?  Has anybody seen them in the wild?

Only two of them were released for the CPC - Seas of Blood and Rebel Planet. I have copies of both of these games, and they're very hard to obtain (and consequently quite expensive to buy when they do appear).

Temple of Terror was advertised but never released for the CPC.

As an aside, I also have a complete collection of Fighting Fantasy books, which I achieved in the mid to late 2000s. You'll be astonished how much some of the later books in the series sell for nowadays! :o

I Also collect the books but I have 4 missing, they are too expensive but one day I might be lucky.  They are still making new books, a new death trap dungeon sequel imminent. 

What is the game play like in the cpc games?

I admit I don't really know! They're both text adventures, which I'm not really a fan of. I only own them because I can add them to my Fighting Fantasy collection.
