Canadian developer Big Blue Bubble announced it was bringing the first five of the Fighting Fantasy role-playing books to iPhone back in August.

Now it's confirmed that the first of them - The Warlock of Firetop Mountain - will be out in time for Christmas.

Compared to the original book form, the iPhone game won't require dice and pencil of course, nor will you be able to attempt brute force cheating by randomly turning over pages until you selected the correct one.

Instead, features will include automatic page progression, game saves to deal with those frequent deaths, and the ability to shake your combat dice using the iPhone's accelerometer.

The other games in the series, Citadel of Chaos, Deathtrap Dungeon, Creature of Havoc, and City of Thieves, will follow in 2010.
