What players say

Players say this Fighting Fantasy adaptation is a faithful but abandoned port, last updated in 2018, with a cheaper version available elsewhere. The book itself is a short, trial-and-error hunt for hammer pieces in a forest, and while some enjoy the nostalgia, others find it lacking in story and replayability.
