Felt cute, decided to run through a retro licensed choose-your-own-adventure. But first...ATTENTION MODS - THIS IS NOT A QUEST THREAD, BUT A GAMEBOOK STORYTIMEOkay, now that that's out of the way, let's begin...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33tsYgBhJKQ
I decided to use a clean version of Sonic's character sheet from a site dedicated to gamebooks. Also, to save time I decided to get the most obvious stat out of the way, but that doesn't mean you guys can't make suggestions! First come, first served!
>not using the perfect theme songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R2vFDIBToIAnywho, put the 4 in Strength, it sounds like combat will be a fairly regular occurrence.
>>97119914I feel like Sonic should be at a 3 in Agility

PINGAS
>>97119958>>97120012And with that, Sonic has been fully statted out! Did our intrepid Anons choose correctly? Only time shall tell...>>97120052gamebooks.org - it's mostly an index, but it also has reviews and stuff like that.
And so, we have our first narrative choice! Do we:>Look around for cluesOR>look around for techOR>Hold on, let's think things through here...
>>97120075>implying the SEGA Game Gear had nearly that much battery life
>>97120072Thanks.
>>97120081Let's see if we can't find some old tech - it'd be way-past cool to use Robuttnik's own inventions against him
>>97120081Look for clues.Also, I vote we call Porker "Chilli Dog" moving forward.
>>97120148>Jump on stuff!OR>Look at stuff!
>>97120174The computer might have something useful on it - it couldn't hurt to look
>>97120232>Get your mad hackitude on, my main 'hogOR>STUPID PIECE OF CRAP, JUST WORK
>>97120232Hope you brought a lot of AA batteries.
>>97120258Smashing it will probably trigger self-defence bullshit that Robotnik installed in it - try the password first
>>97119887Oh shit, I remember this. My little brother had it when we were young.I never read it, but I had the two Lemmings Adventure Books. Instead of hit points you had Lemmings die. Great fun. Fuck the Shadow Zone.
>>97120341
>Look for cluesOR>Jump on stuff!OR>Hold on, let's think things through here...
>>97120432Jumping on springs is vrey much in our wheelhouse
>>97120721>Ah shit, better bail Tails out of trouble... againOR>He'll be fine, let's look for clues
>>97120883We can look for clues after the little dumbass is safe. C'mon, we gotta do our big bro act again.
>>97121228>FUCK 'EM UPOR>Yell at themOR>Y'know what? Let's see how this pans out
>>97121300BEAT 'EM UPBEAT 'EM UPBREAK HIS NECKBREAK HIS NECK
>>97121396Normally I'd ask you guys to roll combat for me, but given how I minmaxed Sonic's Speed stat right at the start there's literally no way we can lose against either of the robo-chumps, so we might as well move on
>Check on the lil guyOR>He'll be fine, let's check for clues
>>97121524Tails just needs a minute, we're very low on actual clues
>>97121630>SONIC'S STUFF>Red trainers>Sega Game Gear>Batman cartridge>Blitzkriegg cartridge>Check on the lil guyOR>Sweet, new game!
>>97121685>Sweet, new game!We might be able to get a few minutes gameplay before the batteries crap out
>>97121694>Go NorthOR>Seriously, he's been out for a while now, we should probably make sure he's okay
>>97119887>Genesis-era Sonic made by white peopleSOVL
>>97121873FINE, we'll make sure the little mutant isn't dead

>Search the placeOR>Try and go back up
>>97122438Tails needs to pull his weight... and ours, as he lifts us out of this shithole
>>97119887Oh shit, this is by James Wallis, founder of Hogshead publishing, writer of The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Fucking bizarre.
>>97122544
>Fuck 'em up!OR>Hang on, maybe the kid has a point...
>>97122587Ehhhh, holding off might not be a bad idea, given that diving in headfirst just backfired on us
>>97122783
Okay, we need to make several choices here; first, we can choose three items to put in our inventory (I'll speed things up and choose the armour as our first pick, as that seems pretty op for combat). After that, we need to start asking some questions.>What the hell are you doing here?OR>Have you seen our buddies?OR>Who the hell's in charge round here?OR>What you wearing that crap for?
>>97122839The candy bars seem the most useless, so I have no doubt they'll be extremely useful at some point
>>97122839Getting cartridges seems pretty important, so let's get that one. As for qustions, it's pretty obvious who's in charge and why this annoying cunt is cosplaying as RoboCop, so best to ask about our friends
>>97122868>>97122898>SONIC'S STUFF>Red trainers>Sega Game Gear>Cartridges:>>Botman>>Blitzkri-egg>>Pter-egg-dactyl>Candy bars>Robot armour
>Sure, might as wellOR>What the hell are you doing here?OR>Who the hell's in charge round here?OR>What you wearing that crap for?
>>97122931Yeah, we'll help you get your blow-up doll back
>>97122993>FloorOR>GrappleOR>PlatformOR>Hang on, is there anything I should know beforehand?
>>97123012Prrrrrrrobably should get any relevant information before we barge in
>>97123044
>... Nah, I'll be fineOR>GrappleOR>Platform
>>97123075We're on /tg/, we should always choose to grapple
>>97123102>SmashOR>Grab
>>97123135SONIC SMASH
>>97123155
>JohnnyOR>Dancer
>>97123198Ffffffffffffffuck... I guess we did promise to rescue Dancer
>>97123232
Okay, now we're doing combat for real - somebody roll 1d6+3 for me
Rolled 2 + 3 (1d6 + 3)>>97123293Fuck it, let's do it
>>97123311>>97123311DAMN IT ANON
Rolled 2 + 6 (1d6 + 6)>>97123311>>97123323OK, OK, this isn't the worst thing - I just need to roll for the rab-bot to hit Sonic
>>97123344Okay, good thing I got that armour from Boombox for us. Now, somebody roll Agility again and hope I don't roll a 6
Rolled 4 + 3 (1d6 + 3)>>97123413Okay, lemme give it a go
Rolled 5 + 6 (1d6 + 6)>>97123424Better... I should roll, just to keep things fair
Rolled 6 + 3 (1d6 + 3)>>97123430Fuck, lemme try again
Rolled 6 + 6 (1d6 + 6)>>97123432Okay, let me see if the rab-bot got any better
>>97123447DAMN IT OP
>>97123447>>97123449OP here... fuck it, it doesn't make any narrative sense for Sonic to go back to the start of the encounter, so let's just say Sonic won to keep things moving, but he lost a life.>LIVES LEFT: 2
>Have you seen the others?OR>Who the hell's in charge round here?OR>Can you help me beat level 6?
>>97123475Again, it's obvious that Robotnik is behind all this, so we might as well ask about Sonic's other woodland chums
>>97123486
>Rescue our pals!OR>Who the hell's in charge round here?OR>Seriously, I just need to beat the boss on Level 6...
>>97123511Level Six can wait, our pals need our help now!
>>97123518
>do a quick recon of the areaOR>fuck 'em upOR>dive inOR>grab a loop
>>97123536Charging in would be stupid af, let's just scout things out first
>>97123546>fuck 'em upOR>shove 'im in
>>97123558If 80s boner comedies have taught me anything, it's that shoving an asshole into the pool is always the correct course of action
>>97123573
>push 'em inOR>fuck 'em upOR>dive inOR>grab a loop
>>97123589Okay, they've been dropping hint about these damn loops, let's see if they actually do anything.
>>97123624
>get outOR>go downOR>help your pals
>>97123648Might as well try and dive for these cartridges
>>97123674Okay, I need to stop doing this, but before I do...
>pull the plugOR>stick it inOR>out of the pool
OP here - just to clarify, I'll be back later, so keep the thread bumped until I get back
>>97123699Cartridges seem to be the solution to everything, might as well use it
>>97124518
>Fuck 'im up!OR>Fuck 'em up!OR>Cheese it!
>>97124983For once, running isn't an option; we need to buy time for the others, and breaking Robotnik's toys is the easiest way to do that
>>97125115Alright, somebody roll me 3d6+3
Rolled 6, 2, 3 + 3 = 14 (3d6 + 3)>>97125156You got it
>>97125186>Enter the buildingOR>Head for the gatesOR>Try to regroup
>>97125253Might as well investigate the building
>>97125288>Fuck 'em up!OR>Head for the gatesOR>Hide!

>>97126069I guess we should look at the plans for the power source first, maybe the freaky building later if we can
