In the cavern-like darkness of the arcade, the neon phosphor-glow of the screen beckons you close. Drawn to the dancing pixels like a moth to a flame, digging deep in your pocket you pull out a shiny coin and thumb it into the slot as the electronic siren sings the fanfare that marks your arrival. One hand on the joystick, the other splayed across the control buttons, your pulse begins to quicken. Ready Player One Press StartYou've barely begun but suddenly the discordant bleeps are trumpeting your failure as your 8-bit adventure comes to an abrupt end. At least in the world of the video arcade you get a second chance. But what is the true price you pay when you make a pact with the digital demon? There's always another coin, an extra life to be earned, a second chance...Isn't there?GAME OVERA dozen stories of creeping dread and savage horror inspired by the humble amusement arcade and the classic coin-ops of yesteryear. Twelve tales to chill your blood by twelve masters of the malevolent and the macabre.Just keep reminding yourself, it's only a game...Isn't it?

Vain hullu astuisi vapaaehtoisesti Lupraviaan, nälkäisten saalistajien kolkkoon valtakuntaan. Sinne olet kuitenkin matkalla, koska vaihtoehtoja ei ole. Olet joutunut jättimäisen suden raivon kohteeksi ja nyt tunnet vieraiden voimien kasvavan sisälläsi. Ihmissuden kirous tekee sinusta pedon petojen joukkoon, ellet löydä parannusta ennen seuraavan täydenkuun aikaa. Onnistutko pelastamaan itsesi pimeyden hallitsemassa maassa, jossa kaikki vapisevat kuullessaan ihmissuden hyytävän ulvonnan? Tässä kirjassa SINÄ olet sankari. Tarvitset vain kynän ja kumin - ja olet valmis seikkailuun. Sinä päätät, mitä reittiä kuljet, mitä esineitä poimit mukaasi, mitä olentoja vastaan taistelet ja millaisiin kuolemanvaarallisiin koetuksiin ryhdyt. Pelillistetty, interaktiivinen kirja tempaa mukaansa nekin, jotka eivät muuten ole kiinnostuneita lukemisesta. Kirjassa riittää vaihtoehtoisia tarinalinjoja useampaankin pelikertaan. Vaikka Fighting Fantasy -kirjat sijoittuvat samaan maailmaan, jokainen niistä on itsenäinen seikkailunsa. Pelaaminen ei edellytä merkintöjen tekemistä kirjaan. Fighting Fantasy -kirjasarja on maailmanlaajuinen menestys. Miljoonia kappaleita myyneen sarjan kirjoja on käännetty yli 30 kielelle. Kirjan upea kuvitus on maailmankuulun taiteilijan Martin McKennan käsialaa.

Kuren for denne vanhellige plage skal findes, før du må overgive dig til det morderiske bæst, som forsøger at gnave sig ud gennem din krop ... Hvor længe kan du overleve i dette besmittede land, før også du hyler mod månen?Sværd & trolddom nr 20, "Varulvens hyl", udkommer for første gang på dansk.
