Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks Review Part 20 - Deathtrap Dungeon Trilogy

[@davedogge2280]

When I first played through Deathtap Dungen the book, I thought it was so good that it should have been made into a movie. I bet a geezer like you can be very nice or very naughty on the harsh streets of London.

I guess I would be if I were from London mate 🤣😉

It looks better than Wartile and the characters move, unlike Warlock of Firetop Mountain. I guess it depends if you want it to look like you're moving miniatures across a board.

I love your old firm style of delivery. But I fear the humour could be lost on johnny eef.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Who’s Johnny eef?

[@sarethums]

Watched this and bought the game, thanks

[@astrogames4496]

Thank you. I’m going to give this a miss. Just picked up firetop mountain on switch which looks better

[@garrydaniel5210]

Ouch! I was so tempted to buy it, then the bit about going back to the beginning everytime killed it for me! Arghh!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

It’s ok for about 20 mins then I got bored...shame

Its not as bad as it sounds, because A: Each book is not very long, and B: You must warp back to the starting point several times anyway in order to explore different paths to get the items required to win. And apart from keeping the items it also remembers your choices on subsequent runs. For instance, if you encounter a rival and kill him, he wont be around for the rest of the playthrough. However you can only die a set number of times (depending on difficulty), and after that its game over. Took me 2-3 hours to complete the Deathtrap Dungeon chapter on Normal difficulty.

We must have had a ton of patience when we were kids because I remember restarting was part of the experience getting through the books unless you cheated and pretended you fairly won every battle, Haha.

Is James Bond In This

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I hope not

[@craigcochrane2284]

FromSoftware already make the best videogames inspired by Fighting Fantasy.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Thought this one was crap. Maybe the next one will be better.

You gesture 'three' like a German.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

[@rubenbalboa1367]

He is talking about Inglorious Basterds movie.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Oh right. Actually my left fore finger is knackered when I cut off on a fish tank at the age of 3. Had to be sewn back on so it’s just force of habit on the other hand…true story.
