New Kindle Game - The Warlock of Firetop Mountain

The Warlock of Firetop Mountain ($3.99) is a new game for Kindle from Worldweaver. Based upon the Fighting Fantasy Adventure series of books from the 70's, this is more of a game, with RPG elements, than just a choose-your-own-path book. The book this one is based upon is out of print, but you can still pick up used copies ($0.89+).

Book Description
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain brings the popular game book series Fighting Fantasy by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone to Kindle devices.

Deep in the caverns beneath Firetop Mountain lies an untold wealth of treasure, guarded by a powerful Warlock - or so the rumour goes. Many adventurers have set off in search of the Warlock's hoard. None has ever returned. Do you dare follow them?

Enjoy this heroic solo adventure with classic role-playing and combat features. As you play you choose different paths to explore Firetop Mountain. Each room or cave brings choices, ensuring hours of entertainment as you play or replay the story. A convenient in-game map tracks places you have visited and monsters or items encountered. Intuitive dice-based combat and game mechanics simulate the pen-and-paper experience.

You are the hero! You decide which route to take, which dangers to risk and which creatures to fight. But be warned - it will also be you who has to live or die by the consequences of your actions.
