Volume 71 of the CYOA series, not of "Space Vampire." Many of the books were unconnected with each other, especially licensed works (I had the one where you got to be a green dragonrider on Pern!)
I gathered that there weren't 71 volumes of Space Vampire stories. 8^D
The way you describe it, it sounds like there was a fair bit of variety in both writers and story lines. Thus, I suspect there wasn't a Hardy Boys level of repetition in plot.
Hey, you never know -- Animorphs had a billion individual titles, following an ongoing storyline (I know this because my daughter loved them as a tween, heh.)
And, yes -- there was a TON of variety. I really loved them as a child! There was a lot of genre variation, as well, which was nice.
And in fact there were different knockoffs that weren't actually CYOAs. I loved them so much though... mostly the CYOAs, but also the D&D game books that you used dice with, and the Wizard and Warrior books, and the Time Traveler (or whatever they were called) books, although I only had/read a couple of those. :( Didn't find many of them. Oh, and there was a series of G.I.Joe ones as well that I had a few of, and which were awesome for a kid who liked G.I.Joe. Because you could be ONE OF THEM!
I very clearly remember "You Are A Shark"...in one of the bad endings, you turn into a mosquito and get smooshed.
Our library had a ton of these, well-used, when I was in high school. Really fun. Hoping to share some with my little one when he's old enough to enjoy them.
