Rebel Spy - Was This Gamebook Series A Threat To Fighting Fantasy And Lone Wolf?

Rebel Spy - Was This Gamebook Series A Threat To Fighting Fantasy And Lone Wolf?
Review of Cretan Chronicles would be good mate. Alot of people don't even know those books exists and they are so good.
are these still available?
Revenge of the vampire is a must have companion to vault, as well. Its a shame they're so rare and pricey these days..
why don't they just reprint them?
I think they only mostly reprinted Ian's and Steve's books. Alot of the later books in the series were written by different authors. Its a good question though.
You off to the FF fest?
Hi James. I was hoping to make it but I’m moving house the day before. It’s landed right on FF fest weekend. 🥲
@@gamebookcollector happened to me last time. I dare say a few vox poppers will record some footage 👍
This was actually the first game book I ever got - a Christmas present from my parents. I loved it to pieces and played through it a lot.
It’s a great book. One of the best ones. 👍
Sorry to tell you but, as a Yank, a good condition of new or old FF means spending (only online) around about $20-$50 or more… 😕
I received a copy via kickstarter. While it came undamaged (as it was packaged well), the pages are all wavy from what appears to be moisture during storage and/or transport. The pages are very thin, so seem extremely susceptible to moisture issues. It’s annoying, but at the end of the day all the content is still readable and can be enjoyed so I’m not too fussed.
Sorry to hear that. That’s a pity. I’ve returned mine Amazon for a replacement. 👍
No kidding…Spellzard! is a fun, easy, rules-lite, perfect FF game! Highly recommended!
Tge printing quality more inferior than yhe first two editions
That’s interesting to know. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Tge damage is bad
Return the book and tell them it's damage and demand a new copy in mint condition. Get what you paid for. The client is king.
That’s the book returned. New Copy on its way. Hopefully this new one will be okay. 👍
This looks so cool. I can't wait to get my copy. R.I.P. Russ Nicholson. Sorry that your book got damaged. I've had that happen to me, too.
My red deluxe hardback damaged upon arrival too
From Amazon?
@@gamebookcollector Not that particular book, but with other book from Amazon (e.g., the big Art & Arcana book that Wizards published a few years back). It's annoying, but I try to not get too upset about it. I'm a bit of an RPG collector (including gamebooks!), but most of my collection is rather beat-up and old.
@@gamebookcollector where did you order the book?
It was pre ordered from Amazon. A few months ago.
Love it!
Thanks!!
Can not wait!
@@spellsing definitely!
Yes definitely in my top 3 , possibly even 1st
It’s great book. Definitely right up there with the best.
I have the Kindle version of some of them they are fun, certainly they have nostalgic value for older men like myself.
Is that the Tin Man version of the books?
Love these videos!
Thank You 👍
Hi mate, could you do a video about the more mature/graphic gamebooks that are out there. You prob have afew in your collection.
Suspect we will start to see some Gamebooks using A.I. art in the near future if we haven't seen it already. If anything it should make the lower budget efforts more attractive.
Its 500 now lol
Crazy price hike. That’s what you were call inflation. Lol
I was given a box full of these books from my parents when I started getting interested in the 'Wizard' reprints. Luckily for me they had a complete collection save for Deathmoor and Mage Hunter, and I ended up downloading those from annarchive, which wasn't ideal for gameplay but it's better than paying crazy money for old paperbacks. I have tried buying _some_ books though. A few years back I was outbid on ebay for volumes three and four of the Zagor Chronicles. The other guy went up to thirty pounds for both and then the time ran out. I can't even find them anywhere now and I'm mentally kicking myself for being so cheap because I'll never know how the story ends 😭😭😭 Revenge of the Vampire I feel is let down by that bug at the beginning involving the payment of horse and the inn. Unless you cheat you can't take the optimal path through the adventure. I don't know if other folk get irked by things like that.
Hope to see you at the fest. Enjoy Tavern, and watch out for the sequel later on. Blessings from Campbeltown 😉
Thanks James. Looking forward to it. 👍
Hey, GC! Will you be doing any coverage of Lone Wolf materials? This is the 40th anniversary and there's been a ton of new Gamebooks for LW!
I’ve got one or to added. The new ones are looking good. 👍
The old artwork is so much better than the bland newer illustrations they use
I totally agree. Not just fighting fantasy books. Some of the newer gamebooks art work is really poor.
Time to sell my complete collection.
Last 19 books listed on ebay! Are Fighting Fantasy gamebooks still expensive in 2024, Lets find out. I will be back in a few weeks and I will let you know how much a collection is worth!
I can't seem to find this anywhere
Have a look on Amazon Scott. Try under authors name. 👍
The burning question though is it any good?
Managed to get Deathmoor for a tenner! First edition with an unmarked adventure sheet too!
Wow.. well done. That's a steal.
Fingers crossed we get decent interior art on this one.
The art work was good in Giants. So fingers crossed. It has a massive impact in the book overall. 👍
Weren't there already 2 sequels? Trial of Champions & Armies of Death? Although Armies of Death was quite different in what the book was actually about, it did directly follow on from Trial of Champions as you play the same hero. So I imagine he means this is as much a sequel in spirit & theme as in narrative?
Nice can’t wait
SUS
Suddenly a magical sound whispers in your ears. "There is something magical about these books, you will spent countless hours on these books and it will all be Worth it!"
I had to turn the closed captioning on to understand you, but I got the message. This is great news!
Thank you. 😀
Great Scott I can't understand a single damn word you are saying...but I feel you are saying something good.
I can't understand a single f--king word you are saying. But overall, good review.
Lets hope they get a good artist for the interiors.
I’ve got the wee soft back book, what a detailed setting, considering it’s contemporaries. It cost a fraction of the price of the more common campaign settings.
i wish they would produce more sci fi gamebooks. i always love those.
Is this book actually any good as an adventure?
My absolute favourite in the whole collection. Great off the wall skills. Terrific atmosphere. Memorable encounters. It's not too difficult but it feels challenging as you play. Not too many innocuous deaths. I highly recommend this one. 👍
Terrific book. Great art work. Get it. Enjoy it.
I got 3 of these. Unfortunately not mage hunter. Revenge of the vampire is a great sequel to Vault of the Vampire. Deathmoor and Knights of Doom pretty ok too if a little bit random. Follow the trend of latter books of everything being Skill 9-10 so if someone says oh I finished that easy then just give them two fingers.
Hey watched you video you sound Stirling based as I am I think I might rock your world on items if your interested
Omg your grumpy over glossy book covers 😂😂 grow up
I’m very grumpy over glossy covers. And will continue to be. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
I know exactly what you mean by the scent
Can't understand sh-t. But he's doing a good review.
My daughter is nearly ready to read these so I have been doing a playthrough making sure of appropriateness and thought I'd finish my collection on eBay to discover what they are worth!?! Unbelievable. Mine aren't in good condition as I played them too much as a kid. I have 25 of the main series, plus 12 supplemenary books. Saw this video and quickly confirmed... No magehunter :-(
Sorry to hear you don't have Magehunter. Although over recent months Revenge Of the Vampire had reached astronomical prices. You have 25 of the main series though. It's a very good start! Check out charity shops.. there have been a lot of good copies found by chance. Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching!
@@gamebookcollector haha don't have that one either! Only revenge of Zagor for those after 50. I can see night dragon for £45 but it's a bit much for a second hand book, as I don't think I'll ever complete it. But... I have heard it's one of the best to play.
@@gamebookcollector well I just messaged my cousin - he has magehunter and revenge, both unread and basically mint condition. Like me, he'd never consider selling them
There was of course a Buffy the Vampire Slayer gamebook (just choices). But back in 1986 JH (Herbie) Brennan of Grailquest books wrote Dracula's Castle and a Frankenstein one as well. And finally Dane Barrett wrote The Mystery of Dracula, which I think got good reviews.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Dracula's Castle and The Mystery of Dracula.. I need to have a search on these ones! 👍
Don't forget "Caverns of the Snow Witch".
Yeah.. apologies I missed that one! 👍
