Holy crap! A Lone Wolf video game?! Yes please! I literally grew up on Lone Wolf, eagerly anticipating each new book as it was about to come out.
For those not familiar, the books are along the lines of "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" (technically it's a "game book" but far less people are familiar with that term) where you get a couple paragraphs (seldom a full page) of story, then given choices. Depending on your choices, you move to a different section, it might be something like "If you enter the forest, go to #312. If you stop to examine the burned building, go to #72." You also had an inventory you had to keep track of (I even remember around book 7 it asked if I had a certain item, which was picked up in book 1 and could be missed if you went the wrong direction), and combat was done by closing your eyes and stabbing the back page (a grid with numbers) with the eraser of your pencil. Whichever number you landed on, plus bonuses from your items, was your "score", and that would determine what section you turn to next (If your total score is 1-4, go to section #41. If your total score is 5-9 go to section #172. If your total score is 10 or higher go to section #289.) and you wouldn't even know until you got there if any option would kill you and you'd have to start the book over again from the beginning.
