Dragon of Doom is one of the few EQ books I never owned/read as a child, but now I want to use this exercise with all the ones I DID read.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it's been tough finding any EQ books...I've been searching used bookstores for 'em the last couple months, 'cause I'd like 'em for my infant son. May have to go back to my parents' house, too!<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-34282598657962292202011-08-22T11:00:46.464-04:002011-08-22T11:00:46.464-04:00Matthew W.

Thanks so much for that.<br /><br />The color-based comparisons are spectacular (lesson: high number of choices/endings early-on were reduced over time in favor of long narrative stuff -- what does that sound like?). <br /><br />And wonderful look at the end at the special ending to "Inside UFO 54-40". That made an enormous impact on me as a kid, although I couldn't remember the exact book, and you just saved me big search time trying to track it down.<br /><br />Highly recommended!Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-80012961376563006272011-08-22T09:03:55.610-04:002011-08-22T09:03:55.610-04:00If you want to see a pretty cool flowchart of a Ch...If you want to see a pretty cool flowchart of a Choose Your Own Adventure book, check this out:<br /><br /><a href="http://samizdat.cc/cyoa/" rel="nofollow">CYOA</a>Matthew Schmeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11348372645986806502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-78547050617057673622011-08-22T08:16:21.434-04:002011-08-22T08:16:21.434-04:00Yeah, I came to similar conclusions when I re-read...Yeah, I came to similar conclusions when I re-read it. I didn't draw a flow-chart, but its linear nature and the 'no matter what you choose, you choose right' stuff definitely made this one seem less cool, even if a lot of the imagery and scenes are nicely evocative.<br /><br />http://lordgwydion.blogspot.com/2011/04/endless-quest-13-dragon-of-doom.html<br /><br />And this is a nice reminder to me that I've still got a couple more to read and comment on...Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.com
