The way authors used 'analog' mechanics to produce stories beyond the junctions/sections-turn-tos always intrigued me.
The Fighting Fantasy's combat mechanics, for example, but also the unique mechanics in the books, such as the Firetop Mountain's keys code, without which you could not physically progress.
Others included having to write down clues from earlier parts of the story as 'key's or passcodes to be deciphered at specific junctures.
Does anyone else have favorite or well-used mechanics in gamebooks? Digital technology renders them all moot, of course, but they are still interesting from a puzzle standpoint.
