The first books I ever remember reading were Choose Your Own Adventure. I loved the idea of controlling a story, even if I died by page three. That love is probably why I’m a RPG gamer.
I’ve been spending a lot of time searching through the Android Market for cell phone games. Yesterday I came across Choice Games. These are multiple choice text based games. I played Choice of Romance. The choices are varied and you’ll get to choose simple things like hair color, skills and more complex options like deciding on a political issue. I found the story enjoyable and can’t wait for chapter two, to see if the King will marry me!
Choice of the Dragon is the second game I tried. My distaste for violence proved to be a hindrance, and I was killed by a wizard and her evil minions. The great thing about Choice Games is that you can replay them again and try a different approach. Next time around, I plan on actually acting like a dragon.
If you love multiple choice text games, Choice Games provides you with a simple script software they developed. You can create your own game and then post it on their site. That game can be downloaded onto iphones, androids or played on an internet browser. If you’re like me and could never find the time to create a NWN Module, this may be your chance to create a game.
I’m going to try to create my own game. Got any ideas?
I remember Choose Your Own Adventures! Those books were a lot of fun although I ended up dying quite a bit in them and having to retry from my last choice.
I've never been ambitious enough to write my own, but I wish you luck!
I'll let you know how I make out!
