First of all, I would like to say how much I love this software. I haven't played Lone Wolf since I was in middle school and yet spent all last night playing them again on Seventh Sense. And honestly, I think it's more fun this way. The pictures can be made larger (particularly helpful for Fire on the Water ;D) and I even like the options for the product to force you to die when you make the wrong choice, as it encourages me to try different paths rather than just back up a page. I don't think a commercial product could possibly be better -- except maybe for the edition of a soundtrack, but then I just put in my 1979 Lord of the Rings CD by Leonard Rosenman and everything was perfect.
That being said, I've heard a lot about these new special editions from Mongoose Publishing and would love to try them, but as I already own all of the books -- at least of the ones that were published in America -- I don't really want to pay for the new ones. Also at ten pounds a book they are prohibitively expense even if I was more willing. I think you should ask Mongoose Publishing if they'd like to buy your program to release their books commercial on the computer, they would reach a large new audience -- not just of people like me -- but if they were to sell them over Steam and the Playstation Network -- perhaps even whatever it is to download on the DS, a huge audience who don't even know or else don't remember what Lone Wolf is! They could give the first book away as a demo and then people could buy each subsequent book for maybe $2.99 or each set: Kai, Magnakai, etc. with one book free. I think that not only would they make tons more money than the way it is now, where you really have to already know they exist to find them and read them, and I could actually afford to read them! :-)
I think they could be a big hit.
