Rented a great house in Devon for this years holiday. As with so many of these places there’s a bookshelf for folk to leave their old reads. Found these in the kids bedroom. Made story time a lot more interesting for me! Danny liked being a wizard with a glowing acid sword.
Great memories of reading those – especially Starship Traveller for some reason (of the ones you’ve pictured). I’m going to be buying Connor some for his 10th birthday/Christmas (both are in December unfortunately!) now that he’s started reading for fun (as opposed to reading because we’ve told him to ;))
I hear that. My lad is five and his birthday falls a week before Xmas, as does his twin sister! They both show early geek signs, which is encouraging, but likely to be costly.
Wow, early edition FFs. Lucky you had 2 dice, a pencil and an eraser with you…
That was the good thing about them – you probably already had at least 1 die lying around the house from Cluedo or Monopoly :)
Oh, my gosh! I just rediscovered those Steve Jackson books at my mom’s house. What great times they were.
Like so many gamers, I’ve just picked up the latest one this weekend and when I get a night to myself I plan on going at it old school. Which means finger bookmarking and probably never loosing a fight ;)
Come off it guys, no one really rolled the dice, did they? Fess up, or reveal me to be a scurrilous cheat all these years.
