The Cave Of Time

3.5 stars — This was a whole lot of fun. I got eaten by the Loch Ness Monster, lived with the caveman, met Abraham Lincoln and even got to meet a UFO!

I've been interested in the area of IF (interactive fiction) for a while. I've been hopelessly addicted to Twine, a modern game engine for making interactive fiction. It's such a charming way of storytelling and thought I'd go back and see the genre origins. So here it is, the first book of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published in 1979.

The writing is pretty simple, don't expect anything deep or meaningful here, but despite this it's a lot of fun! Think I managed to find all of the endings.
