My first impressions as a child were undeniably negative, but nevertheless Night Dragon would always hold a certain mystique in my memory and it would be among the first books that I sought to reacquire following my recent gamebook retrospective. The whole production seemed to require a particular effort that jettisoned the straightforward Fighting Fantasy adventure shenanigans for something a lot darker and harder to digest. Its many long sentences of intricately written narrative only aggravating. Being the young, cheating scumbag that I was, its mathematical anti-cheating systems were frustrating. Once upon a time, Night Dragon was one of the most hated gamebooks in my entire childhood collection.
