I can't remember specific ones of the originals that I liked, but my favorite CYOA spin-off was the "Lone Wolf" series, which were simply fantastic:

I remember one that sent you back in time to die from the Plauge.

Yeah, I recall they had some pretty nasty deaths in some (all?) of the books.
-
I loved those books. I always died though :bawl:
-
I used to have a bit of a collection of those, back when I was a runt.
-
I recall them quite unfondly(wrd?)
I used to set the world speed record on those things for fast ugly death. lol
Funny story, I cheated on a book report using one of those books back in the day. I did a 2 page report on a book in which I died in like four pages. Teacher made me have a do-over on a "real" book. :( OK it wasn't that funny. Still. No "good" memories associated with CYOA books.

That's teacher was a close-minded jerk. I'd have let kids do book reports on CYOA books. At least they got kids reading! And they'd read them more than once, so that's a bonus, too.
