Starship Traveller: First Sci-Fi Adventure Added to Fighting Fantasy Classics

Feeling lost in the vast expanse of space? In Starship Traveller, your mission is clear: navigate your way back home. This iconic sci-fi adventure was penned by Steve Jackson and first released in 1984, marking it as the inaugural sci-fi entry in the renowned Fighting Fantasy series. Now, it's newly available on Android as part of the Fighting Fantasy Classics collection by Tin Man Games, which brings together both classic and modern gamebooks from the 1980s to the present.

As the captain of the Starship Traveller, your journey takes an unexpected turn when you're drawn into the mysterious Seltsian Void. Stranded in an uncharted galaxy, you're tasked with finding your way back to Earth. Your path involves exploring unknown planets and engaging in delicate diplomacy with alien civilizations.
