Haha, those would be sweet. Imagine the production costs though.

I remember the Hardy Boys one, where you would try to solve crimes and stuff.


There is a D&D DVD Movie that is like that. Pretty interresting.

When I was younguer I used to read the "Lone Wolf" series of choose your own adventure books.

Lone Wolf books fricken' rocked. I was a huge fan of Choose Your Own Adventure books. Tons of re-readability if you didn't cheat :p

there's a ton of em on-line too. I sometimes mess around with them to keep myself occupied at work.

I used to read those for book reports in 3rd or 4th grade...I would choose a path that would lead to my death as fast as possible so I could be done with the book :)

choose your own adventure books rocked! I think they made a few Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys books that were choose-your-own-adventure style as well.

Heh, I did too. :)

I remember reading this one about space aliens....no.....massive mushrooms....well, basically every ending either got me killed or invaded by aliens. It was hilarious and I could put it down.

you could put it down

Why can people not learn to use the right words?
Could != couldn't people. Remember it or you sound like an idiot.

My grammar is not at fault...my typing is....I am sooo bad....
