If you just found out about Gamebooks, or you’re a returning aficionado after some years of hiatus, this simple guide might help you get into this hobby. If you’re a current Gamebook veteran, you might find something new in this list.

Before I start, here is a short disclaimer:

  • This list will be updated every couple of months.
  • All of the books I show here are IN PRINT and can be bought new at regular prices in most places.
  • This list only shows books that I know a lot about or I’ve read.
  • You can suggest other books, and I’ll try to add them to this list.
  • This entire list is just my opinion.

The gamebooks listed here should be great for someone completely new to this hobby. It doesn’t mean they are easy or hard to complete, but, they are easy to understand and progress. But, before we start, consider reading these two guides I’ve made. One is about what you need to have on hand before you read a Gamebook, and the other is more important since it’ll teach you how do to mapping, which will be a useful skill to have in a lot of Gamebooks.

    Oh, and the Buffalo Castle solo adventure for Tunnels and Trolls came out in 1976, so even earlier.
