Starship Traveller: First Sci-Fi Adventure in Fighting Fantasy Classics Series

Feeling lost in the vastness of space with no clear path home? That's your challenge in Starship Traveller, a thrilling sci-fi adventure penned by Steve Jackson and first published in 1984. As the inaugural sci-fi journey in the iconic Fighting Fantasy series, it has now been revitalized and is available on Android through the Fighting Fantasy Classics app by Tin Man Games. This app serves as a digital library housing the original Fighting Fantasy gamebooks from the '80s alongside new releases, offering a treasure trove for fans and newcomers alike.

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

In Starship Traveller, you step into the shoes of the captain of the titular starship, navigating the perils of the Seltsian Void after an unexpected plunge into an uncharted galaxy. With Earth a distant memory, your mission is to chart a course back home. This involves exploring mysterious planets and engaging in diplomacy with alien civilizations, where every decision could mean the difference between survival and annihilation in the depths of space.

Tin Man Games has enhanced the adventure with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, making the experience more interactive. You'll manage a crew of up to seven members, strategizing and leading them through the unknown. The game also boasts new illustrations by Simon Lissaman, breathing fresh life into the classic tale. With adjustable difficulty settings and a 'Free Read' mode for pure storytelling, Starship Traveller is a must-try. Grab Fighting Fantasy Classics on the Google Play Store to embark on this retro sci-fi journey.
