Ever found yourself lost in space with no way home? That's the premise of *Starship Traveller*, a thrilling sci-fi adventure that marks the first-ever space-themed gamebook in the iconic Fighting Fantasy series. Originally crafted by Steve Jackson and released in 1984, this classic has now been revamped and is available on Android as part of the Fighting Fantasy Classics collection by Tin Man Games.

In *Starship Traveller*, you take on the role of the captain of the Starship Traveller. Disaster strikes when your ship is pulled into the mysterious Seltsian Void, stranding you in an uncharted galaxy far from Earth. Your mission? Navigate back home. This involves exploring unknown planets and engaging in potentially risky diplomatic encounters with alien civilizations. Every decision you make can impact the fate of your crew, so tread carefully to avoid disastrous deep-space battles.
Tin Man Games has enhanced the gameplay using their Gamebook Adventures Engine, making the experience more interactive than ever. You can now manage a crew of up to seven members, adding depth to your strategic decisions. The game also features new illustrations by Simon Lissaman, giving it a fresh yet nostalgic feel. For those who prefer to enjoy the story without the pressure of decision-making, there's a 'Free Read' mode available, alongside adjustable difficulty settings. To embark on this adventure, download Fighting Fantasy Classics from the Google Play Store.
