Previously I introduced the 'additional challenge' mechanism to Sharkbait's Revenge and Isle Of The Cyclops. Now I've done the same for The Diamond Key. The challenges are mainly the ones suggested by Ulysses here and here but I've added a couple more. Despite what I said back then, it is now possible to get three fireswords.

You initiate the challenges by reaching the best ending in the usual way. Then, following the CONGRATULATIONS message you are presented with an ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES link. Click on this and you go back to the start of the game, but you now have a checklist of challenges to work your way through. It doesn't matter if you die on any subsequent attempt, you can keep going round and round until you are successful.

And by the way, I put Gilmore the Groat back in.

Updates

I've added the following items to the Downloads page :

Dragon's Bane by Tammy Badowski, a 100-reference gamebook in which you play an Orc herbalist in Port Blacksand.

All thirteen gamebooks that make up Tales From The Bird Islands, zipped up in one archive. No attempt has been made to edit them so that they connect together seamlessly, so you will have to use your initiative if you want to play them in this format.

The old Amylase website, which no longer exists in any usable form as far as I can tell.

Thanks.

Dragon's Bane (Orc's Kitchen) has to be one of my favs in my collection, it was fun writing. I'm thinking of making a part two. Stay tuned....

Shrine Of The Salamander

Here's another gamebook to play online. This is by Andrew Wright and it was originally in the second issue of Fighting Fantazine. It's a bit of a rarity in that it uses Sorcery! rules.

You are an adventuring forge-priest of Verlang, and have undertaken many perilous quests across Kakhabad at the behest of your god. You have stared down the Apes of Mauristatia. You have braved the Beastmen of Tinpang Valley. You have even infiltrated the Necromancers' Guild of Throben. But how will you fare in this, your most dangerous adventure? Will you survive the Shrine of the Salamander?

Shrine Of The Salamander Artwork

Brett Schofield has kindly allowed his artwork to be used in the online version of Shrine Of The Salamander, so if you play it now there are loads of illustrations. If you want to see the pictures in their full glory though, you can either visit Brett's deviantArt page or download Fighting Fantazine issue 2 from here.

House Of Pain

In a surprise move, Phil 'Hellfire' Sadler, who has consistently maintained over the years that he would never write another gamebook, has written another gamebook.

It follows on from the events of Steve Jackson's House Of Hell. After escaping the house you found yourself locked up for the murder of its inhabitants. Unsure of your own sanity, you now return to the scene looking for answers.

Golem Gauntlet

"I see you begin to understand... I found that I was capable of transferring the human consciousness directly into another form. I needed a subject - I need to know how much you can mentally endure before becoming insane." Seething with rage, you reach for Tey but pause as you see your outstretched arms. Your limbs, and apparently the rest of your body, now seem to be composed of clay. Imprisoned in a Clay Golem!

Now Simon Christopher Chapman's gamebook, a 2012 Windhammer competition entry which has been sitting on the downloads page for quite some time can be played online. Here it uses FF rules rather than the proprietary system of the original.

Bloodsworth Bayou

Frenchman Street had been decked with lanterns last night, and the jazz clubs thronged with revellers, their faces made oddly skull-like by the half-lights. A bottle of Restoration Ale firmly in hand, you accidentally trod on somebody's foot when exiting the Black Cat. The girl was Creole, and young, and startlingly beautiful, but her mouth twisted into a snarl, and she muttered something under her breath...

This atmospheric gamebook by Cian Gill set in the swamps of Louisiana, which has been on the downloads page for several years, is now ready for online play.

Outsider - Additional Challenges

For a start, Gavin's favourite ending now counts as a second successful ending for which you get a CONGRATULATIONS message and potentially a star in the guestbook.

I've also added a series of challenges in the manner of the ones that exist in several other gamebooks.

You initiate the challenges by reaching one of the two successful endings in the usual way. You are then presented with an ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES link which sends you back to the start of the game and gives you a checklist of challenges to work your way through. It doesn't matter if you die on any subsequent attempt, you can keep going round and round until you are successful.

The Maze Of Mheng

Andrew Wright has now written the fourth of his series of microadventures that began in the Fighting Fantasy Newsletter. It follows on from either Debacle At Dead Man's Inn or Into The Valley Of Halos.

I'll soon add it into Tales From The Bird Islands. For now, there are DOC and PDF versions available to download.
