Embark on an epic journey with Starship Traveller, where you find yourself lost in space with no clear path home. Originally penned by Steve Jackson and released in 1984, this game marks the inaugural sci-fi adventure within the iconic Fighting Fantasy series. Now, it has made its way to Android as the latest entry in the Fighting Fantasy Classics collection, a digital library app by Tin Man Games that celebrates both the original 1980s editions and modern releases.
Choose Your Own Adventure or Just Choose This Retro Sci-Fi
In Starship Traveller, you assume the role of the captain aboard the Starship Traveller. Your voyage takes a dramatic turn when your ship is drawn into the mysterious Seltsian Void, stranding you in a galaxy completely off the map. With Earth a distant dream, your only recourse is to explore uncharted planets and navigate the complexities of diplomacy with alien civilizations. Every decision you make is pivotal—choose wisely to avoid catastrophic outcomes in deep-space skirmishes.
Tin Man Games enhances the experience with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, adding layers of interactivity. This includes a comprehensive crew management system, enabling you to assemble a team of up to seven members. The game also boasts new illustrations by Simon Lissaman, giving the adventure a revitalized aesthetic. You can adjust the difficulty to suit your preference or opt for 'Free Read' mode to immerse yourself in the story without the pressure of choices. Dive into this nostalgic yet refreshed experience by downloading Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
