Fighting Fantasy Creator: ‘I Cheated’
Fighting Fantasy creator admits to cheating: entire world of an 80s child comes crumbling down.
Shocking developments today as Steve Jackson, co-creator of the Fighting Fantasy series of role-playing books and co-creator of Games Workshop, admitted he has – like all of us – cheated when playing/reading the classic stories/games.
Speaking exclusively to Play earlier today, Jackson was posed the question: “Have you ever cheated in your own books?” His response:
“Ummm… yes.”
Jackson was chatting alongside Eidos Life President, Ian Livingstone, to promote the release of upcoming PlayStation Mini title Fighting Fantasy: Talisman Of Death, developed by Laughing Jackal – a game in which you can’t hold your fingers on previous pages in case you make a wrong move. You cheater.
We’re all going to have a lie down now. This has rocked our collective world.


















Just reading Deathtrap Dungeon again. It still holds up. Still not arsed about dice rolling though. I just ask my son to choose a number between 1 and 6.
