Fighting Fantasy Classics News

ːwarlockorcː If you love all things Fighting Fantasy, then come and join our new Discord community and share your love for this beloved gamebook series. We'll be announcing our exciting new releases later this year and giving away some treats over the coming months. Not only that, but we're looking for FF-mad beta testers. If you think you're up to the task, then let us know! ːwarlockorcː

We'll see you in the Tin Man Games Community Discord! May your STAMINA never fail!

It's time to add a new addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library! This one may be familiar to fans of our digital gamebooks in the past, as we first adapted this as a standalone title nine years ago - where has that time gone?



This time round we've kept things more authentic to Steve Jackson's original 1985 paperback release, including all the powers and fights as they originally appeared, and maintaining the storylines to each of the four powers exactly as they flowed in the original adventure. Even though this has meant a complete re-coding of the gamebook, it's been great to revisit Titan City once again and join the wacky supervillains that are hell-bent on taking over the world!



We have included a few extras from our standalone version though, including a number of the villain portraits that were commissioned for that game, which you can collect as you defeat each of the enemies. There are also new hero portraits to choose from and a new comic book page layout. You'll also notice we've added a new soundtrack called "Superhero Swing", which captures that 90s Saturday morning superhero cartoon vibe!

So, if superheroes are your jam and you love gamebooks, then make sure to check out Appointment with FEAR!

P.S. We had a slight hiccup with our previous build due to some changes in a Unity update. If you had problems accessing your books, we're so sorry! We've now pushed out a new build that fixes that issue.

Tough, incorruptible champion of law and order, YOU are a SUPERHERO!

Using your superpowers, you protect the innocent citizens of teeming Titan City from the terrorism, violence, kidnapping and corruption of a host of super-villains. Your mission is to discover the location of the top-secret F.E.A.R. meeting, capture the Titanium Cyborg and his cohorts, and bring them to justice.

We've had a few requests to bring Steve Jackson's Appointment with FEAR over to Fighting Fantasy Classics, so we've re-coded the original gamebook from the ground-up and will add it to the library by the end of the year!

As you may already know, we developed another game based on the gamebook property back in 2014. While this new FFC version is strictly an almost 1-to-1 of the original paperback release, we have managed to bring across a few treats from that game. These include the addition of the original soundtrack (including the battle theme), all of the newly re-coloured artwork, and much of the supervillain artwork that was created solely for that release. We've also added a new page skin if you want the layout to have more of a comic book feel!

So grab your cape, take to the skies, and WISHLIST NOW!

P.S. We're still tweaking Armies of Death and will have more news on that in the new year, along with the announcement of another FFC addition. There's lots to look forward to!

Can YOU defeat the nightmare army of the undead?

Agglax the Shadow Demon is amassing an army of undead warriors to conquer Allansia.

Setting off from Fang with over two hundred veteran fighters, YOU journey east to meet the enemy. But the Shadow Demon is not of this world and special powers are needed to destroy him. The longer you spend searching for these powers the stronger he will be.



One of three incoming additions to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library, we're incredibly excited to announce Armies of Death! In Ian Livingstone's sequel to Trial of the Champions (book 38 in the old Puffin run), you must raise an army using your newly won purse of 20,000 gold pieces. The gamebook uses a new combat system to allow your troops to fight against multiple opponents, as you take the battle to Agglax, an evil Shadow Demon!

As you will have noticed from the announcement art, we're incredibly honoured to have secured the rights to use the original cover artwork by Christos Achilléos, who sadly passed away late last year. This is an iconic Fighting Fantasy illustration and one that many readers from 1988 will be familiar with.

Release date is yet to be decided, as we are creating new interior illustrations for the digital adaptation. We'll let you know as soon as we know more. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements before the end of the year!

It's time to venture into another Fighting Fantasy gamebook! Tarrak Kazan, Oleander Redfly, Gretta Morg, Garanka Vassell and a mob of other highly-trained killers await you within the digital pages of Assassins of Allansia!



Are YOU tough enough to survive attacks by Allansia's most dangerous and deadly assassins?

After accepting a challenge to survive on Snake Island, a nightmare unfolds when a bounty is placed on your head. Beware the ruthless assassins hellbent on hunting you down - but who are they? Where are they? Trust no one...


Ian Livingstone's 2019 adventure is brought to life by amazing illustrations courtesy of Krisztián Balla (licensed from Chameleon Comix) and a suitably action-packed fantasy cover from Karl Kopinski. As with all our FF Classics releases, we have automated the dice-rolling combat, inventory and turn to logic choices on the pages.

We'll also be announcing some new additions to the library very soon. Watch this Steam-space!
