There used to be these books where at the end of each chapter you made a choice for your character, and then you jumped to the chapter corresponding to what happened then as a result of that choice.
What's the technical name for that kind of story? And has anybody made such things on the web?
They're called "gamebooks". Choose Your Own Adventure was one of the more popular series.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen them online, but I remember them being in the library - particularly the Choose Your Own Adventure. However, I usually found them rather flat.
ReplyDelete"Choose Your Own Adventure" books are back out in print. I remember the term "computer book" being applied to them.
ReplyDeleteI have found some interesting adult themed (erotic) versions recently, but all in print, or subscription site.
My son is intrigued by the idea and has dabbled with stories across linked HTML pages.
