The Sahara is one of those exotic places that I would love to go to, and I guess if I signed up for some short term mission work, or joined some aid agency, I might actually get to go there (and I shouldn't use age as an excuse, since I feasibly have another 60 years of my life to live, and hopefully I will still be cognisant and mobile near the end of that time).

The Fighting Fantasy gamebooks take you to another world (in a majority of cases) while the Choose Your Own Adventures tend to be set on Earth (well, most of them in any case). Show More further by putting you directly into the action by using the second person narrative and by giving you a choice as to what direction you take the adventure.
