Lost Worlds (gamebook)

Using the character sheet to cross-reference their action with that of their opponent, players then turn to a specific entry in the book they are holding in order to determine the results.

There is also a further series of books, of emphatically female fighter-types, under the collective title of Queen's Blade, published from late 2005 by Hobby Japan.

In 2012, Jill founded Firelight Game Company[usurped] with partner Todd Broadbent with plans to release new characters under the brand of Legend's Gauntlet in a new but fully compatible format.

"[2] Ian Waddelow reviewed Lost Worlds for White Dwarf #52, giving it an overall rating of 6 out of 10, and stated that "The game is easy and good fun but it has limited appeal.

It would be fun to throw two books at a couple of players when running a RPG as a change from endless die-rolling, but it does not warrant a great deal of thought, nor does it allow for any real strategy.

"[3] In the May 1984 edition of Dragon (Issue 85), Ken Rolston found the game entertaining and fast, but expensive and with limited replayability.

It earns the highest marks in playability, time and effort to learn, presentation, originality, system quality, and dramatic effect, but its applications are limited and closed-ended, and the cost is perhaps a little steep for a quick thrill.

Swan lauded the game as "easy, learnable in a couple of minutes (no kidding) [and]... challenging; 10 years on and I still haven't cracked all its secrets."
