kind of like indiana jones meets lord of the rings, you play a paladin-like warrior chasing after a former friend to stop them getting the world ending something. Very few real options, though the storyline is rather rich and the amazonesque setting works well enough

definitely not as awesome as Heart of Ice or Down Among the Dead Men...

La colección Tú eres el protagonista suponía una nueva vuelta de tuerca a los librojuegos tipo Elige tu propia aventura -ETPA- (antes de esta serie me encontré con los Lucha ficción, que acabaron culminando en esta colección, donde no solo había que tirar dados sino recordar decisiones pasadas, llevando el nivel de complejidad un paso más allá).
En la versión española mezclaron varios volúmenes independientes, por ejemplo de detectives, con otras series como esta más orientadas a terror o incluso directamente inspiradas en relatos de Lovecraft. Eran un cajón de sastre pero compartían todas la dificultad de la mecánica.
Comparado con los más sencillos Multiaventura o ETPA (CYOA en inglés), no me pareció que estas serie aportara tanta diversión extra comparada con el esfuerzo a adicional de progresar siguiendo las reglas.

I used to love the Golden Dragon gamebooks when I were a lad. I spent a small fortune getting hold of a few of them in the 1980s. Being a bit shorter in length than Fighting Fantasy, it didn’t take much more than an hour to whizz through each one. Whilst this was ideal for the slightly younger, as the books were so well written, they continued to appeal into my teens and the series survived the many book purges I’ve had over the years. They still appeal now in fact, some 40 odd years later.
The Temple of Flame is up there with the rest of the series, this time with an ancient South American twang to the adventure. I can’t comment on how balanced the game/dice roll elements stand up as I didn’t bother this time around, but I remember liking its simplicity. The writing has stood the test of time. I’d strongly recommend the author’s Bloodsword and Critical IF (formerly Virtual Reality) series. I must also finally get around to reading the same author’s Fabled Lands and Vulcanverse series.

Le style est ampoulée, mais c'était divertissant.
Beaucoup trop difficile sans tricher, par contre.
