When I was a kid I used to be heavily into 'choose your own adventure books'. Where you flip on any specific page number based on the decision you make during your journey.

Oh, I remember those! I loved reading those too! And the best part was going back and re-reading it and choosing a whole different adventure the next time. :biggrin:
