I don’t know much about the Lone Wolf books, but I believe you can play them online for free now here:

The ‘Lone Wolf’ books by Dever & Chalk were turned into computer games around the same time as the FF books were around. I know I played one, but can’t remember anything about it.

But as a kid what more do you want than to imagine slaying beasts? Sounds like they did their job at the time.

Cheating was pretty common I think, but I’m not sure if it helped or hurt the experience. Sometimes you had to make up for those cheap instant deaths! They did find some clever ways to prevent cheating the whole way through though, using passcodes and number combinations.

I have actually played these, and probably still own some of them lying around at my parents’ house.

Don’t think I would ever go back to re-playing them, I remember always cheating to follow the story, but not caring about any lengthy description, so I think I basically got nothing from them, other than to imagine slaying beasts with weapons.
