Way of the Tiger
Way of the Tiger is a series of 6 solo gamebook written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson. These books were set in the world of ORB, with a colour map on the first page of each book except for number 6 (This map is printed on a thin piece of cardboard and shows different sections of ORB, they also come out quite easy so look carefully). Extra items need are a pencil and a d6 dice. There were several errata in the Knight Books edition (books 5 and 6), these were attempted to be fixed by placing small slips of paper in the book to show the right wording (listed after each book below). These were official and are hard to get to make the books complete. This series was also printed in the US with different covers.
