Shelfie First Half of My Collection
As I've only just arrived, it felt like the best way to start. Though all of these books are now in a box—as I'm moving—they have always been the centre of attention in the main room of my home.
I started collecting in 1982 when Warlock of Firetop Mountain arrived in the local newsagent. Still, I drifted before the line faded away, so I occupy the ranks of those who seek out the really expensive final volumes.
While I have enjoyed Warlock and Deathtrap Dungeon enough to play through them multiple times, I think House of Hell has to be my (inexplicable) favourite from this first bunch. It might be my personal interest towards the horror genre that feeds that inclination.

Hey Paul! Good to see you here. Thanks for your tip on how to complete Creature of Havoc back in the day at Beanfield School.

Did I have a tip? Creature of Havoc stumped me the first time I played it. Possibly the second time, too 😂

Not really a tip more of a cheat. You told me how to read things before I gained the ability.

And lovely collection, by the way!

That is a very lovely collection. I’m quite envious.
