Ever found yourself lost in space with no way home? That's the premise of your mission in Starship Traveller, where you must navigate your way back. Originally penned by Steve Jackson and published in 1984, it marks the inaugural sci-fi adventure in the iconic Fighting Fantasy series.
The latest addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics, Starship Traveller has now landed on Android. This digital library app by Tin Man Games compiles the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks from their original 1980s editions to the latest releases.
Choose Your Own Adventure or Just Choose This Retro Sci-Fi
In Starship Traveller, you're the captain of the titular starship, thrust into the Seltsian Void—an uncharted galaxy far from Earth. With no clear path back, your only hope is to explore unknown planets and navigate the tricky diplomatic waters with alien civilizations. Every decision you make can lead to survival or the vaporization of your crew in deep-space battles.
Tin Man Games has enhanced the experience with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, making it more interactive. You'll manage a full crew of up to seven members, adding depth to your journey. The new illustrations by Simon Lissaman give the game a fresh, modern look. You can adjust the difficulty settings or opt for 'Free Read' mode to simply enjoy the story. Dive into this new release by downloading Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
