RIP Joe Dever

[JLSigman]

Joe Dever, who's Choose Your Own Adventure style gamebooks were a huge deal in the late 80's, passed away November 30th.

If you're interested, you can find the books here, free to play,

Aw.  I had a complete set of the Lone Wolf books and donated them to a local library.  An important part of my childhood that needed to be passed along to a new generation..

I think I still have The Magnamund Companion tucked away somewhere.

RIP

I had no idea that Project Aon got the licenses for the Freeway Warrior books!

Looks like I will have to finish what I started like thirty years ago and get Cal Phoenix to California.

After searching for them for years,about 4 years ago I found one of the Lone Wolf books at the sadly now closed used bookstore.It lived up to 20 years of wanting to read them.

When one of my friends tweeting the Lone Wolf writer had passed away, i thought he meant Kazuo Koike.

It took me the better part of three or four years to get a complete set of the LW books.   

I always saw copies of the Grey Star in book stores but it never dawned on me to buy any of them.

I never saw any of the Freeway Warrior books in stores after the second one in the series, so I'm totally stoked to see how the story pans out now that they are available at Project Aon.

I am already sad enough.  I'd be totally distraught if Koike-san and Dever died in the same week.

Huge part of my childhood.

Still have the books (most of them, anyway, there were a couple i could never find before they went out of print) somewhere.
