Starship Traveller
About
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.

Starship Traveller reviews and comments

The books-games are not novels. The thicker of them are at best the news a little greasy. It's hard to make us travel in so few words, especially when writers can only write in such an exciting advertising style to read as the chemical composition on the back of a hamburger carton. This is why, so often, these adventures are limited wisely to one or two environments. Starship traveller takes the opposite of this habit, catches us a little madly the end of the butt and we walk from one extreme to the other of a parallel galaxy. Propelled captain of an ersatz of the USS Enterprise which derives from the wrong side of a black hole, it is our mission to bring our crew home. Like an Odysseus of space, we mooring from port to port to discover the adventures that await to be read there. Each stop has its new journey, every Moon its people and its problems; the impression of living a mini-episode of a television series is strong and one is powerfully tempted to imagine himself in Daniel Jackson, the best and most beautiful of the men-tampons, eternal diplomat crushed by the interests of each other.
Everything is, as usual, too random and too short. The adventures that we live, yet very interesting, resemble more a summary of episode than a long or even a short film. Mini-narratives are not really and the text, without a formal idea, lacks literature. But this little Odyssey has enough charm to convince us to start again after the inevitable failures that will cut us before its end until, after costing us a little curiosity, a lot of recklessness and a handful of hours, say goodbye without regretting the time spent together.

Space Traveller-Digital adaptation of legendary combat fantasy, or more precisely NF in this case (fighting fantasy-genre of Game books), 1983. Written by Steve Jackson, one of the founders of Games Workshop, the offices brought us a lot of good (one Warhammer what is worth).
Language and gameplay.
The Game is text. Language here is English, and not the most difficult, because originally this series of books published in the U.S. in the publishing houses teenage literature. But still for a full game, the language is desirable to own at least at the middle level. The gameplay is a martial fantasy. What does that mean? We have a text in which we choose on which planet we will fly, and what to do there. But at the same time there are stats that are defined randomly throw "bones", the same "knuckles" we have fights, who threw more, that beats. Fights are cosmic, and command on planets. Minus-Every time you have to enter the name of the captain, gender, generate stats. It's a bit annoying. Another minus-Achivki can be a jerk (especially the Ajiva for the collection of all the arts), it is treated by reinstalling the game.
Plot.
History is largely inspired by Star trek. We start the young captain of the ship, who went on a banal task, but because of an accident that got into the parallel universe. So we have to look for a way home, among unknown stars. In General, it is a good solid NF, very reminiscent of the aforementioned Star Trek. In order to return home, you must either find the right coordinates, and for this visit only 3 mandatory planets Cliba (get the object in the Meteorological Center), Jolsen-3 (coordinates) Terryal-6 (coordinates), or to score any coordinates, jump in End of the randomized black hole, roll the dice, and pray to the gods of Chaos. The Plot is good.
Graphics and sounds.
Text, stylization under the book, plus enough high-quality oldschool NF-illustrations. Who read the old fiction, he knows. The Music is pleasant.
As a result.
Martial Fantasy (fiction) from the creators of the genre, which already speaks of its quality. The Book is legendary, the adaptation is not bad, although there is also a shoals. Fans of SF-books and fans of Star Trek, knowing English, categorically recommend!
