grover12··on Choose Your Own Adventure
I was so obsessed with this when I was a kid. I created a complete node graph a few years ago in order to cheat and to show the entire tree structure of the book:

I simply didn't have enough fingers to bookmark previous pages if I made a choice which led to a bad ending. This was my first taste of depth-first search algorithm.

With the graph visualization as an oracle, I was able to explore all threads leading to all the different possible endings. You can read this book in OpenLibrary:

I carried my childhood obsession with me all the way to Ghidra / IDA debugger which shows the disassembly blocks with arrows in its graph view.

I'm now a Reverse Engineer thanks to the Choose Your Own Adventure books I've obsessed over and read a lot as a kid. :D

Hey mike_d, I remember this as well. Using my google-fu, I found it. Google: "hopper disassembler" copyright text OR string
