Starship Traveller: First Sci-Fi Adventure Added to Fighting Fantasy Classics

Are you lost in the vast expanse of space with no way back home? Embark on an epic journey in Starship Traveller, where your mission is to navigate your way back to Earth. Originally crafted by Steve Jackson and released in 1984, this game marked the first sci-fi adventure in the iconic Fighting Fantasy series. Now, Starship Traveller has been freshly added to the Fighting Fantasy Classics collection, available on Android devices. Fighting Fantasy Classics, developed by Tin Man Games, serves as a digital repository, hosting gamebooks from the original 1980s editions to the latest releases.

Choose Your Own Adventure or Just Choose This Retro Sci-Fi

In Starship Traveller, you take on the role of the captain aboard the titular starship. Disaster strikes when you're drawn into the mysterious Seltsian Void, leaving you stranded in an uncharted galaxy with no clear path back to Earth. Your only recourse is to explore unfamiliar planets and engage in diplomacy with alien species, where every decision you make can lead to thrilling outcomes or catastrophic failures. Beware, as a wrong move might lead to your crew's demise in intense deep-space battles.

Tin Man Games has enhanced the gameplay with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, introducing a more interactive experience. This includes a comprehensive crew management system, allowing you to assemble a team of up to seven members. The addition of new illustrations by Simon Lissaman breathes new life into the visuals. You can adjust the difficulty settings or opt for 'Free Read' mode to immerse yourself in the narrative. To experience this updated adventure, download Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
