Ever found yourself lost in space with no way home? That's the thrilling premise of Starship Traveller, where you embark on a mission to navigate your way back to Earth. This iconic sci-fi adventure, originally penned by Steve Jackson and published in 1984, marks the first of its kind in the renowned Fighting Fantasy series.
Exciting news for Android users: Starship Traveller has now joined the ranks of the Fighting Fantasy Classics, available through Tin Man Games' digital library app. This app revives the nostalgia of the original 1980s gamebooks, bringing them to life with modern technology and new releases.
Choose Your Own Adventure or Just Choose This Retro Sci-Fi
As the captain of the Starship Traveller, your journey takes a dramatic turn when you're pulled into the mysterious Seltsian Void. Stranded in an uncharted galaxy, your sole mission is to chart a course back to Earth. This means exploring alien planets and navigating diplomatic encounters with extraterrestrial civilizations. Every decision you make is crucial—choose wisely, or risk the annihilation of your crew in intense space battles.
Tin Man Games enhances your experience with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, adding layers of interactivity. A robust crew management system allows you to assemble a team of up to seven members, each contributing to your mission's success. The game's visuals have been rejuvenated with new illustrations by Simon Lissaman, giving the classic a modern touch. Plus, you can adjust the difficulty or switch to 'Free Read' mode to simply soak in the story. Dive into this revamped classic by downloading Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
