Where are the other Choose your own adventure games?

is this link dead

Here’s all the other ones I know about.

Two sites dedicated to a ton of CYOAs and forums to post on.

http://www.infinite-story.com/

A site dedicated to sex CYOAs (Possibly NSFW, but there aren’t any pics, it’s just text)

http://www.chyoo.com/

A really weird and long CYOA with many different endings.

http://www.bradthegame.com/

An equally odd CYOA. (Possibly NSFW, but despite the name, it doesn’t have any lewd pics)

If you want stuff for your ipod/iphone/ipad and aren’t familiar with them already there’s a whole series of Gamebooks called “Gamebook Adventures” by Tin Man Games. They got 8 of them out so far and I think they’re done well overall.

There’s also a series called Fabled Lands out for the ipod. If you’re not familiar with it, it was a game book series that originally came out in the 90s that allowed you to move back and forth through the various books. Basically it was the “Oblivion” or “Skyrim” in book form back in the day. They planned 12, but only ever made 6. Don’t think they ever came out in the US either. Anyway they’re trying to revive the series and actually do all of the books this time. So far they’ve remade 4 of the books in physical format and the first 2 for the ipod.

:smiley: thank you so much

Thanks for the infinite- story theres tons of IF there!

I recommend the alter ego one posted on the second comment.

Hey all, I just found a great new CYOS (choose your own story) website! It is called the Never Ending Tale and is user submitted, but there are also pro editors. You can even go and add a few pages yourself. This web is exciting and contains a wide variety of topics/themes; you’re sure to find something you love. The link is: http://www.coder.com/creations/tale/ Happy adventuring!

These comments sure go back, don’t they?
Anyone know if Alter Ego was made using the same basics as ChoiceScript? I want to know if it’s possible to do icons like that in CS, and make it go to another scene after a certain number of icons were clicked, etc. etc. etc.

No, it was prior to CS. It’s actually a port of a game from the mid 80s.

@therealtree how do i use the site? i went there and i got really confused.

@QondasDyablo It seems complicated at first, but as you get to know it it becomes simple. First read the front page, then “You have one page left!” Link, and then find a link to the Stacks, which is the CYOS part. Or you don’t have to read any of it; just go straight to the stacks. I read it all but found it didn’t make much difference. Once you are at the stacks, click on a tale, enter it, and start reading/playing! Feel free to post if you have any more questions. :slight_smile:

“Don’t take it personally, babe” was the only visual novel where I wanted to be cruel to my admirer. Arianna is an annoying, entitled, manipulative brat, and I hated seeing my character getting instantly interested in her.

Are any of these games available on Kindle Paperwhite?

@Hildigard Amazon is moving away from publishing games for the e-ink Kindles. If you want to game they want you to buy a kindle fire instead. (Which is backlit, and so not great for reading, and there may be better tablets out there.)

If you want your kindle for playing games on, and bought your kindle extremely recently, I’d see about getting it returned and getting a Kindle Fire. (Assuming you don’t have issues with the backlight.)

Great one about a guy who runs away from home & you guide him as he braves the streets of LA…

I wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t linked to that.

Someone in the comments section mentioned that the story was plagiarized from over here:

http://www.therunawaygame.com/index.html

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Alter Ego is actually by Dan Fabulich.

EDIT: Nevermind xD I thought it was.

@Samuel_H_Young Alter Ego isn’t by Dan Fabulich, it’s by Peter J. Favaro. Dan got permission to code up the web and app versions.

I suspect that Choice of Games came into existence because of Alter Ego.
