[Groop] Re: Question for ME on DVD etc format

[Vaughn Seward]

VHS: This actually reminds me of a book I once saw where after every few 
pages the reader could answer a question about where the plot could go. The 
book then provided a few answers you could pick from and you would then be 
directed to the another page to continue the story. This seems like a lot 
of work for the writer so I'm not surprised the idea didn't catch on.
