Usborne published 15 books in the eighties for several familial computers (except the Amstrad CPC...) about programmation (games especially). They are all available for free now.

Until now for me, The way of the Tiger and Way of the Tiger II: Avenger were just 2 video games by Gremlin Graphics. But in fact, they comes from 6 gamebooks (la voie du tigre ou way of the tiger for more informations) written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson :

• Avenger! in 1985
• Assassin! in 1985
• Usurper! en 1985
• Overlord! in 1986
• Warbringer! in 1986
• Inferno! in 1987

A seventh book was written in 2014 by David Walters and also a prequel, available in paper at Megara Entertainment following a kickstarter project.

The prequel and the 7th book are available in english and french, the 6 original books in english only at the moment.

There may be digital books by Tin Man Games, but still not available (should have been 2014 and 2015).

You can find maps of the Way of the Tiger universe on Gamebooks.

If you liked gamebooks, you can download Lone Wolf one Iphone and Android.
