"Starship Traveller: 1984 Novel Turns into Sci-Fi Gamebook for PC, Mobile"

May 06,2025 Author: Aiden

Embark on an interstellar journey with "Starship Traveller," the latest addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library, now brought to life by Tin Man Games. Originally penned by Stephen Jackson in 1984, this sci-fi gamebook has been revitalized for today's platforms, available on Steam, Android, and iOS. As a starship captain, you find yourself lost in the vast expanse of the universe after being unexpectedly pulled through the Seltsian Void. Your mission? To navigate through alien worlds, engage with unknown civilizations, and survive intense space battles, all while striving to find a way back home. Every choice you make will impact your survival, your crew, and the fate of your ship.

Tin Man Games has enhanced the game using their Gamebook Adventures Engine, preserving the essence of the original while adding modern touches. You will command a team of up to seven crew members, dispatching them on perilous missions to explore mysterious planets. The game's built-in tracking system manages everything from your crew's stats to ship-to-ship combat and maps, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the adventure.
