Parts 1 & 2 Putting this on the list is *almost* cheating, because Parts 3 & 4 do exist, but technically each book can stand on its own and I HAD to share my love for adventure books somehow. This digital implementation in particular is great because it maintains a lot of things that made those adventure books charming. The interface is papery. You can 'undo' actions without penalty, which lets you enjoy some of the sillier and more b.s. 80s adventure scenarios. The second book in particular does a decent job of balancing linearity and allowing you to explore a busy city in a way that feels non-linear. It also diverges from the book mechanics in some good ways- combat goes from i think die rolling to an energy bidding system, magic goes from page number lookups to divining letters from the stars. Apparently a good number of rooms/encounters/events were altered from the books to give long-time fans some surprises, and many hidden mechanics prevent the game from being completely mappable. My favorite adventure books are still the uncompleted 'Fabled Lands'/'Quest' series, but there isn't a steam release for that. --- You did indeed stab me in the back.
