About Starship Traveller (Standalone)
Sucked through the appalling nightmare of the Seltsian Void, the starship Traveller emerges at the other side of the black hole into an unknown universe. YOU are the captain of the Traveller, and her fate lies in your hands. Will you be able to discover the way back to Earth from the alien peoples and planets you encounter, or will you and your crew be doomed to roam uncharted space forever?
With Fighting Fantasy's popularity on the rise in the 80s, Steve Jackson was inspired by a different setting from the traditional swords and sorcery - instead looking to science fiction. Starship Traveller allows players to control an entire ship and crew, with each member skilled in certain abilities.
Explore the vast reaches of space, updated for PC, Mac and Linux. Presented in full colour with realistic physics-based dice rolling for battles, auto-mapping, an auto-updated adventure sheet and stat keeping.
This Standalone edition of the Starship Traveller gamebook comes specially themed to suit the adventure. Starship Traveller is also available to purchase within the Fighting Fantasy Classics library. Please note that purchasing one does not unlock the other and will need to be re-purchased if desired in the other format.

✦ AI summary
Players describe this as a faithful digital adaptation of a classic 1980s gamebook with a Star Trek-like premise where you command a starship lost in an alien galaxy. While some enjoy it as a lighthearted choose-your-own-adventure experience that works well for casual play, others find it disappointingly short and simplistic, with stories that can end abruptly in mere minutes based on a single decision, making it feel less sophisticated than expected for a full game.

Starship Traveller, developed and published by Tin Man Games, is a lovingly crafted adaptation of Steve Jackson’s 1983 Fighting Fantasy gamebook that brings one of the earliest science fiction adventures in interactive literature into the digital era. It places players in the role of a starship captain whose vessel, the eponymous Traveller, is thrown through a black hole and emerges in an unfamiliar galaxy. With no way to contact Earth and limited resources, your mission is to navigate this strange region of space, encounter alien civilizations, manage your crew, and ultimately find a way home. Tin Man Games reimagines this classic text adventure through modern interactive storytelling mechanics, polished visuals, and a thoughtfully updated interface that enhances the experience without compromising its nostalgic roots. The first thing that stands out about this adaptation is how faithfully it preserves the spirit of the original while smoothing its rougher edges for digital audiences. The user interface automates the bookkeeping that once defined gamebooks—no longer do players have to scribble notes or track dice rolls and statistics manually. The Adventure Sheet keeps track of y…1 found this helpful

[h1] Star Trek simulator? [/h1] This game is based on Steve Jackson's gamebook and is presented in a very sci-fi way and this shows stark contrast to the other more fantasy & classic gamebooks. It was the first sci-fi gamebook, it was also only the fourth gamebook of the Fighting Fantasy series so the genre was just developing. That's why you shouldn't expect crazy, complicated and super sophisticated things in this adventure. It's not the best sci-fi story nor the best Star Trek special episode but it definitely captured well its spirit. The plot is like Star Trek Voyager (lost far far away from home and need to go back!) and you get plenty of exploration to do on various different planets/star bases and some classic encounters with the usual space anomaly. There's nothing incredible or brand new (especially if reading now in the XXIst century) but it ticks the box for a standard Star Trek episode. It's not easy and you might spend many tries trying to get it right but it's not impossible. It's also very short compared to other gamebooks (so easy to understand/map). There is somehow a way to win without even fighting once (which is crazy if you spent hours making your stats,…
