Picture from Fighting Fantasy:  The Warlock of Firetop Mountain announced for DS

Aspyr Media and Big Blue Bubble have partnered to launch Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain for the Nintendo DS. Based on the legendary book series by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson, the game is a first-person fantasy role-playing game that takes players on an adventure through the Firetop Mountain Keep, the scene of the first entry in the literary line. The story follows a lone adventurer on his travels through the old Dwarven keep within Firetop Mountain. Now the residence of an evil warlock and hordes of foul creatures, the keep is a mysterious and dangerous place from which no one has returned in many years. As players guide the adventurer through the passageways and dungeons, they develop the character’s abilities and attributes to suit their play style. Enemies will fall before the player’s brute strength with sword and axe, power of the arcane arts, nimble quickness or custom combinations of skills. Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain will be available this holiday season.

Very cool. I first discovered the FF books as a child while perusing the public library. I was instantly hooked and read at least 20 of the books over the next several years. I wonder if this DS rendition will try to emulate the choose-your-own-adventure style decision making of the books. A real-time action RPG dungeon hack would be just too generic.
