Forest of Doom – Fighting Fantasy book by Ian Livingstone

I had this Forest of Doom book along with several other Ian Livingstone Fighting Fantasy books back in the 80s. I remember being fascinated by the book covers that they used to have with the fantasy theme, and usually very striking style.

I never used to play the book as you were intended to (with pencil, paper, and dice), instead I used to just read through, and if I got in a fight, then I would just win! Easy! Although, I can’t ever remember completing one of these books, so that just goes to show how hard they are. Needless to say, I still don’t beat the book during this game play through. Maybe one day I will conquer the Forest of Doom…

The Forest of Doom is a single-player adventure gamebook written by Ian Livingstone, and illustrated by Malcolm Barter. Originally published by Puffin Books in 1983, the title is the third gamebook in the Fighting Fantasy series, and the first of several to feature the character Yaztromo. It was later republished by Wizard Books in 2002.
