Fighting Fantasy Classics News

If you love to arrange your Fighting Fantasy gamebooks in the original 80s Puffin release order, you will no doubt be aware of the gap where book number 4 should sit. We're fixing that early next year as we bring Steve Jackson's Starship Traveller to the library!



Unlike our 2015 standalone release, we've re-coded Steve's gamebook from the ground up, bringing it much closer to the original 1983 publication. Simon Lissaman's amazing visuals do make another appearance though, so if you've never seen them before, you're in for a real treat!

The fate of the Starship Traveller and her crew lies in YOUR hands!

Sucked through the 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 depends on YOU! Will you be able to discover the way back to Earth from the alien peoples and planets you encounter, or will the starship be doomed to roam uncharted space forever?""

Keep an eye on the cosmos, sometime in early 2025! We're also working on two other FF releases to follow shortly after, with even more to come next year.

One of the most popular requests we get is whether we can push out a "proper" build of Fighting Fantasy Classics on the Steam Deck. It's a great platform for handheld gaming, and seeing as the FF books were technically some of the very first on-the-go games for Gen Xers back in the 80s, it's a perfect fit.

We're currently adding in controller support as well as updating FFC's saving system to allow for multiple save slots per book. We're also adding in cloud saving, which is obviously super important for FF fans playing on their computer and Steam Deck. A new build will be pushed out in a couple of weeks and we'll then request deck verification from the Steam gods.

There will also be an announcement in the next few weeks about new FF titles coming to the library! If you follow the TMG channels on X or Discord, you may already have seen a few clues! ːwarlockorcː

Our 17th Fighting Fantasy gamebook has sailed into the Fighting Fantasy Classics library! The 66th book in the series, written by Ian Livingstone in 2017, is an instant classic as it transports you to some famous locations in Allansia where you may bump into a few familiar faces from FF lore.



This is a double celebration for us as we celebrate the start of Melbourne International Games Week. It's going to be a busy week away from the glare of our monitors, where we'll mingle with our games industry peers and celebrate the awesome games that have been created by Australian developers. Steam are hosting a special MIGW landing page containing a host of Victorian-made games, many of them on sale for the week, including all of our previous FF Classics DLC releases.

Tin Man Games also have a whole host of our games on sale, which coincides with Steam's Turn-Based RPG Fest too! Check them all out.
