Appointment with F.E.A.R.	comment	Appointment with F.E.A.R. is a Gamebook by Steve Jackson in the Fighting Fantasy series. It is especially noteworthy for taking on a very different subject: instead of the usual Heroic Fantasy settings, it is set in a Comic Book-inspired superhero setting, though still in a place called "Titan" (Titan City, to be precise).You are Jean Lafayette, a.k.a. The Silver Crusader, a masked vigilante who underwent a genetic experiment as you were born, and the effects started to show just as the scientists behind all this gave up on seeing the effects. Having either Super-Strength (with Flight), Psychic Powers, being a Gadgeteer Genius or blasting Pure Energy, you embark on a fight against crime in the city of Titan!Evil organization Federation of Euro-American Rebels, or F.E.A.R., led by the sinister Vladimir Utoshki a.k.a. the Titanium Cyborg, is bent on world domination. The Silver Crusader must stop F.E.A.R. the day their leaders are to meet, or else it might be The End of the World as We Know It.The book is slightly longer than a normal Fighting Fantasy book with 440 references compared to the standard 400, thanks to each super-power requiring discovery of its own unique set of clues to achieve the good ending. A 200-reference sequel not written by Jackson but using the same rules, Deadline to Destruction, appeared in an edition of Warlock magazine.In 2014, the book was adapted for an electronic format by Tin Man Games, and released on iOS and Android. This particular version of the game features a limited form of character name and appearance customization on top of the choice of superpowers originally in the book. The book is also available on Steam as part of the Fighting Fantasy Classics package.

The Creature of Carnage is definitely an Hulk CE. The Silver Crusader himself, as well. Picking Super Strength/Flight makes you very much like Superman, while Gadgeteer Genius plays out a lot like Batman. A non superhero-themed CE appears in the fanzine sequel, where you fight a human-housefly mutant hybrid. The textual description of his transformation even sounds similar to the Cronenberg film.

The real hell of it is, prioritizing the cat is the only way to get one of the clues to the F.E.A.R meeting in one path.

Mainly in how he turns a killer robot loose and runs off. Whereas when he takes on the reader as the proper Final Boss while wearing his armor, he's rightly confident he can take the Crusader.

Appointment with F.E.A.R. / int_8a07e085	comment	Denser and Wackier: The mobile game version leans a lot more heavily into the camp of Silver Age superhero stories than the actual book does. There's a lot more comical banter between characters, attack options during combat are purposefully silly, and the player doesn't get the option to name their character: instead of even having a generic name like the Silver Crusader, they have to select from lists of randomized, and completely absurd, hero names.

One example is going against Mastermind, if you have any power other than the Enhanced Technological Skill (ETS) - you'll automatically die if you don't run away. If you do have ETS, you have developed an alpha wave emitter that torments Mastermind into submission.

It's possible to buy your boss a Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit or Dungeons & Dragons set, or a copy of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. You can also consider buying a variant of the "Whack Man" video game. Peter Laboratories and Parker Airport appear in the same paragraph. Not to mention "Wisneyland". A stage production of "Rats". And a combined example in the name of your boss, "Jonah White". The football player "'Streak' Gordon". You can meet "Lieutenant Wojak". Someone has broken out of "Woodworm Scrubs Prison". There was a smash and grab at "De Lager's Jewellery" and you can also visit "Verging Records" (where you buy a copy of Willer, the new album by Michael Blackson), and "Ephiphany's the famous Jeweller". At the airport you can find the "Xavier, McCoy and Summers" hangars. You can find a packet of "Karlsborough" cigarettes. Really, you can make a drinking game out of these. (Richard Storm, anyone?) In "Deadline to Destruction" note Section 154 it flat out just has one of the ETS gadgets be a web-shooter the Silver Crusader made in imitation of his "comic book rival", Spider-Man!

That's not to say that deaths don't occur in the book, just not when Silver Crusader wins any fights. Of course, you're a superhero. You can kill them, but you lose hero points. This is something of a hollow punishment when you consider that hero points are very rarely important. Gameplay-wise, almost never. They're really meant as a way of keeping score so you can compare one playthrough to the next.
