The Rocketeer vs. the Third Reich Text Based Adventure Game
A downloadable text rocketeer game
Remember Choose Your Own Adventure, Endless Quest, and Fighting Fantasy books from the 80s and 90s?
The year is 1939. World War 2 has just started in Europe. Back in Los Angeles, you (Cliff Secord, also known as the Rocketeer) become involved in an international game of cloak and dagger when your friend and mentor, Peevy, is kidnapped. The FBI suspects that he has been spirited away, along with a number of other US rocket engineers, to a top secret German chateau to work on the German rocketry program. Depending on your choices, can you save Peevy and the other engineers and not cause an international scandal and make it make it back to Los Angeles in one piece?

Awesome. This is a way better place for this game/book than its former home on Wattpad
Looking forward to having Cliff punch some Nazis
Thanks for your support! Yes, I’m glad, in a way, the story got removed from Wattpad since I then discovered Twine, which is a much more suitable platform in which to create interactive stories!
