Embark on a thrilling intergalactic journey with the latest addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library: Starship Traveller. Originally penned by Stephen Jackson in 1984, this iconic sci-fi gamebook has been skillfully adapted by Tin Man Games for today's platforms. Now available on Steam, Android, and iOS, you can dive into this expansive universe and take on the role of a starship captain navigating the unknown depths of space.

In Starship Traveller, you find yourself stranded after being pulled through the mysterious Seltsian Void. With no clear path back home, your mission is to explore alien worlds, engage in diplomacy with unfamiliar civilizations, and overcome the challenges of deep-space battles. Every choice you make can significantly impact your survival, the well-being of your crew, and the fate of your starship.

Tin Man Games has enhanced the game using their Gamebook Adventures Engine, preserving the essence of the original while introducing modern features. As captain, you'll manage a team of up to seven crew members, dispatching them on perilous missions to uncharted planets. The integrated tracking system takes care of stats, ship-to-ship combat, and navigation, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the adventure.
