That's the thrilling premise behind Starship Traveller, the first-ever sci-fi adventure in the iconic Fighting Fantasy series. Originally penned by Steve Jackson and hitting the shelves in 1984, this gamebook has now been revitalized and is available on Android through the Fighting Fantasy Classics app by Tin Man Games. This digital library app brings together the original 1980s editions and the latest releases, offering fans and newcomers alike a treasure trove of interactive storytelling.
