Choose Your Own Adventure
Speaking of old things on the Internet...
I was "updating" a few files at http://www.cygnals.com/ last night, and noticed a directory in the FTP client that I hadn't seen in years.
Remember the early days of the web, when pretty much any remotely interactive content was radically cool? Well, I went to the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores and bought as many Choose Your Own Adventure books as I could find, with the goal of writing them up for the web.
I got through one of them. I sat there and typed out the whole book into HTML files and linked 'em up. Yeah, I had that much time on my hands back in 1996 or whenever that was.
Give it a spin if you like!
And if you really dig the Choose Your Own Adventure books, check out Demian's Gamebook Web Page for a database of these and others.
