Interactive fiction on the App Store has definitely surprised me not only with how well it works on the family of iDevices, but how much I’ve enjoyed the titles I’ve read. In the past we’ve posted a large roundup of the three big series including Gamebook Adventures, Fighting Fantasy, and Sorcery!. More recently we’ve covered the Choice of Adventure series which are much more similar to R. A. Montgomery’s Choose Your Own Adventure books that were incredibly popular in the past.

Book 3 of the Gamebook Adventures series was just released, and both of the previous books also were updated to fully support the Retina Display of the new iPod touch and iPhone 4. In addition, in celebration of the new addition to the series all of the books have been put on sale. Reading the books in order isn’t required to enjoy them, but you might as well start at the beginning because they’re all worth checking out if interactive fiction is your cup of tea.
