Big Blue Bubble is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Fighting Fantasy, by putting all 5 of their interactive gamebooks on sale for 99¢ each.
Their licensing agreement for these books is set to expire, which means that these apps will actually be removed from the App Store soon, so this may be your last chance to buy them.
If you do pick them up, I highly recommend you make a backup copy of your “.ipa” files for these apps, just in case you ever need to reinstall them later.
All of the titles are universal apps and feature interactive elements like turning pages, tapping or shaking to roll the 3D dice using the accelerometer, selectable inventory, game saves, achievements and integrated iPod music library access. Players also have access to both the original illustrations and digitally re-mastered versions and a scrolling image gallery of unlocked in-game art.
