Classic Table Top Game The Warlock of Firetop Mountain Comes To iPhone/iPad Feb 22
When Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone released their first Fighting Fantasy gamebook in 1982, a generation of fearless adventurers descended on Firetop Mountain — braving its monsters, magic, and mayhem to challenge the Warlock who guards its treasure.
On February 22, a new generation of iPhone and iPad gamers will join their ranks when Tin Man Games releases The Warlock of Firetop Mountain on the App Store as a $4.99 (USD) download.

Tin Man Games is an award-winning studio that has released over 30 digital gamebooks and interactive fiction apps for iPhone and iPad.

- Explore a vast 3D map populated by detailed miniature figurines that are based on the original gamebook’s illustrations
- Enjoy an epic fantasy storyline complete with old and new illustrations by Russ Nicholson, the original artist
- Play and replay as four distinct heroes — Lunika Ekaadi, Dekion Strom, Alexandra of Blacksand, and Arran Gottspeed — who each have their own reasons for exploring the mountain
- Choose your path in an interactive story with thousands of choices that vary based on your hero
- Outwit your opponents in simultaneous turn-based combat — learn their fighting styles and predict their moves
- Expand the adventure with new heroes, combat skills, and story quests available via in-app purchase
