I used to love the Fighting Fantasy books as a lad. I recently downloaded House of Hell to my phone and have really been enjoying it. I’ve yet to complete the bloody thing!

One of my heroes! Our eldest son (10yrs) is now working his way through the Fighting Fantasy books and loving them as much and we (his parents) did. Such a great talent.

I never knew it was all inspired by Lara Croft

What a currier, most gamers would be thrilled to be involved with just one of those.

Truly an amazing seminar. Happy to have gotten a glance into the beginnings of GW and Lara Croft (didnt expect that)

Your coverage has been good, but that was outstanding. Ian described a lot of my life as a secondary school life, and later life even.

Glad to see you’re doing well, Mr LIvingstone, wishing you good health!

The legend… Started with some “Livre dont vous êtes le héros” in french (Game Book in which you are the hero).

He did so much in the industry ^^

He was a good speaker and was a good quick insight into his life, I liked the replaying of the silly Lara croft adverts.
