Back in the 90s, Sonic strode throughout Europe like a colossus, with petty plumbers walking under his mega-cool high-tops to find themselves in dishonourable graves.In Robotnik's Laboratory>>12215882

thank you for making a good novel sonic thread that isn't screeching about the DC games. it's insane how i'm still learning about new media that sonic was in back then. SoA knew they had a winning franchise on their hands and put him in everything from books to mcdonald's happy meals.
>>12225519Any chance you can find scans of a specific Sonic book I once got? It was something of a travel gamebook with a dry-erase marker and an electronic randomizer. Each page was a different game and you hit a button to roll the randomizer and determine what happens on each turn.
>>12225587Thanks - I rediscovered a whole bunch of Sonic books on the Internet Archive, and thought it'd be fun to share them here - I've also got a thread over at >>>/tg/97119887 if you're interested.>>12225636Sounds like it's the Golden Books Sight 'n' Sound Randomizer - no scans, but eBay prices seem to be quite reasonable for something so obscure
By the way, I thought I'd run this up the flagpole, see who salutes; I've discovered a bunch of tie-in novellas/novels for various /vr/ games, and I thought it might be fun to have a sort of book club. Basically, I'd start the thread, post a few chapters every day to give everyone time to read/discuss the story so far. I was thinking of having it be a weekly thing, maybe fortnightly if people prefer to space things out.Either way, I wanted to see what game people wanted to start off with, so I picked out a selectionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP7vWiaxw7YGiven how the latest game in the franchise has gotten everyone thirsty af, I thought it'd be fun to look back to where it all began with the novelisation of the first Baldur's Gate as well as the BG2 novels.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqf8jID9TsEYeah, this had tie-in books. They were for a younger audience, but should still be a blast.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSsfjHCFoswAgain, the new games have reminded everyone how cool Doom is, so looking at the tie-in books for the first game should be cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9xroa4cMLMThis was Japan-only, but it got translated a while back. It only had four chapters, but they're pretty long.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngg6NrxHACgngl, I'm mostly adding this one because I think it's hilarious that this shitshow got a tie-in novelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-i8HYi1QH0Yeah, I had to include this motherfucker.https://strawpoll.com/3RnYXbBp9ye
>>12225789Dude, you've got way too many options. Pick two or three AT MOST.
I had a bunch of these books as a kid and I used to pore over the artwork for ages. Sweet nostalgia :3
