I’ve talked about the Lost World combat game books at least once before. They’re a novel little modular game in which you hand your opponent the book featuring your character, which is illustrated in a first person perspective, as though that character is attacking them. Players choose moves (which are limited or unlocked by a combination of both players’ previous moves). It’s a clever little beat-‘em-up to pass the time and there are tons of different characters to fight with (some even had tie-in miniatures).

This is Lizard Man with Scimitar and Buckler (1984). Lizard folks are cool. This one is kind of giving me Whiplash from Masters of the Universe vibes.
