Are you lost in space with no way home? It's your mission in *Starship Traveller* to navigate your way back. Originally penned by Steve Jackson and released in 1984, it was the pioneering sci-fi adventure in the iconic Fighting Fantasy series.
*Starship Traveller* has now been added to the Fighting Fantasy Classics collection and is available on Android. Fighting Fantasy Classics is a digital library app developed by Tin Man Games, featuring gamebooks from the original 1980s editions to the latest releases.

As the captain of the Starship Traveller, you find yourself in a dire situation when your ship is pulled into the Seltsian Void. Stranded in an uncharted galaxy, the path back to Earth is a mystery. Your only recourse is to explore unfamiliar planets and navigate the tricky diplomacy with alien civilizations. Every decision you make is crucial, so tread carefully to avoid catastrophic deep-space conflicts that could jeopardize your entire crew.
Tin Man Games has enhanced the gameplay with their Gamebook Adventures Engine, adding a layer of interactivity. There's a comprehensive crew management system that allows you to assemble a team of up to seven members.
The game boasts new illustrations by Simon Lissaman, giving it a revitalized aesthetic. You can adjust the difficulty settings or switch to ‘Free Read’ mode to simply enjoy the narrative. To dive into this adventure, grab Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
