Tin Man Games equip an asterisk for The Sagas of Fire*Wolf

"Now you will learn Lambada: the forbidden dance."

“Now you will learn Lambada: the forbidden dance.”

Interactive fiction manufactory Tin Man Games have another gamebook for us: The Complete Sagas of Fire*Wolf collects all of the stories originally published in the 1980s about Herbie Brennan’s titular fantasy character. I’ve flipped through some screenshots and it appears that Fire*Wolf’s name always appears with that medial asterisk, like that girl Lori who sat next to you in 7th grade algebra and dotted the ‘i’ in her name with a heart.

The Complete Sagas app is $10 on the App Store and the same price on Google Play, but for that price you’re getting four gamebooks in one. In the stories, Fire<3Wolf is exiled from his village and grows into a powerful sorcerer and saves the world of Harn from the Demonspawn, learning a lot about life and personal responsibility in the process, no doubt.

Tin Man have especially prolific this year: besides the regular additions to their long-running Fighting Fantasy series and the mould-breaking interactive graphic novel Appointment with F.E.A.R., they’re currently working on a new Judge Dredd gamebook due out later this year.

More Fire*Wolf screenshots after the jump.

In the next series, Fire*Wolf's name becomes an unpronounceable symbol to protest his onerous record deal.

Don't deal with dragons, Fire*Wolf! Didn't you play King of Dragon Pass?

A very special Fire*Wolf.

And just for good measure here’s an Appointment with F.E.A.R. trailer that I’m not sure we posted last time we talked about it.
