The book he had that day was the first of those books I purchased myself. Talisman of Death.
The first book may not have been set in the overall universe as the rest of the series but I did enjoy the diversity. I found myself going through a lot of those books in the years after.
I even tried my hand at creating my own stories and indulged in books on the lore and rules.
But I never got to grips with the more "advanced" Sorcery books.
I dismissed the Nintendo DS version of a game book after bad reviews.
Over time I've read a few bits here and there about the series since and have seen some fan newsletters/sites that keep the subject alive. In one of these last week I read about a version of the game books being converted into iOS and Android apps. This peeked my interest.
The latest game out in this new digital format is a book I had also gotten so many years ago. Starship Traveller. Here is a link to the google play store.
I bought it and have enjoyed it so far. I like the way it's been implemented, the way the rules are done and the dice rolls that can be bumped adds a nice touch. Tinman games have done a good job. I'll spend a while with this before I look at the other games that have been converted but I think I'll wait until books I've had in my collection are redone before buying again.
