Ever felt the thrill of being lost in space with no way to return home? That's the challenge you face in Starship Traveller, the groundbreaking sci-fi adventure from the iconic Fighting Fantasy series. Originally crafted by Steve Jackson and released in 1984, it marked the debut of sci-fi within this legendary collection.
Now, Starship Traveller has made its way to Android, becoming the newest gem in the Fighting Fantasy Classics app by Tin Man Games. This digital library app brings to life the classic gamebooks from the 1980s alongside modern releases, offering an immersive experience for both new and seasoned adventurers.
Choose Your Own Adventure or Just Choose This Retro Sci-Fi
In Starship Traveller, you take on the role of the captain of the titular starship. Your journey takes a dramatic turn when your vessel is pulled into the mysterious Seltsian Void, stranding you in an uncharted galaxy with no clear path back to Earth. Your mission? To explore unknown planets and navigate diplomatic encounters with alien civilizations. Every decision you make could mean the difference between a safe return and the annihilation of your crew in deep-space conflicts.
Tin Man Games enhances this classic with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, making the experience more interactive. A robust crew management system allows you to assemble a team of up to seven members, adding depth to your strategic choices. The game also boasts fresh illustrations by Simon Lissaman, revitalizing the visual appeal. You can adjust the difficulty settings or opt for 'Free Read' mode to simply enjoy the narrative. Dive into this updated classic by downloading Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
