While digital interactive fiction is on the rise nowadays, sometimes we forget that it all started with the printed word. The Choose Your Own Adventure series kicked off back in 1979, introducing millions of children to the fun and excitement of controlling the stories they read. And when that series kicked off, it kicked off with a book by series creator Edward Packard.
Here at Gamezebo, we've made no secret of our love for gamebooks. Whether it's the recent releases by Tin Man Games or something more akin to a visual novel like Cinders, we love a good story that we can play with. Looking back on a more personal note, I think my own love affair with gamebooks probably started in the same place yours did; reading the Choose Your Own Adventure series as a child.
