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! warlockorc

40 years ago an iconic book cover arrived on book shelves in the UK. Deathtrap Dungeon was a revelation and captivated young minds around the country. It was so successful it spawned two sequels, both written by Sir Ian Livingstone, called Trial of Champions and Armies of Death.
Today sees the release of the third book in that trilogy, and completes the epic Allansian adventure!
Can YOU defeat the nightmare army of the undead? warlockskeleton
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.
Grab all three of the trilogy now in the Fighting Fantasy Classics library.

Armies of Death will be available next week in the FFC library, but we're not taking an arrow to the knee just yet, with the announcement that Ian Livingstone's more recent Allansian adventure, The Port of Peril, will be hot on its heels a few weeks later!
The Tin Minions are also busy working on another three Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, chosen from the vast range of the original FF collection. We're also signing licenses for more titles too, with some highly requested titles from the series planned for the future development. Not only that, but we have plans for a verified Steam Deck update. You can run FFC on the deck already, but there's a few things we need to incorporate to get the Steam green tick approval.
In other FF news, Fighting Fantasy Fest 5 is just around the corner, being held at the University of West London, in the UK! Tickets are still available - head over to FightingFantasy.com for more info.
[ 2024-08-15 01:07:52 CET ] [ Original post ]
For some of our Fighting Fantasy digital adaptations we need to commission new artwork. For Armies of Death we turned to long-time Tin Man Games collaborator, Joshua Wright, who has worked on a number of our games including the Gamebook Adventures series, Table of Tales: The Crooked Crown and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.
Josh's unique artistic flair is a perfect match for the world of fantasy illustration, where his talent truly shines. His knack for creating eerie, monstrous designs brings to life the terrifying creatures you will encounter and battle in Allansia. We're thrilled to take you behind the scenes and showcase some of Josh's early pencil sketches for Armies of Death. These sketches provide a glimpse into the evolution of his creative process, from initial concepts to the stunning final versions!
Ian Livingstone's Armies of Death will be joining the Fighting Fantasy Classics library very soon!

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!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2081031/Appointment_with_FEAR_Fighting_Fantasy_Classics/
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.
[ 2023-01-14 23:37:55 CET ] [ Original post ]
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 Achillos, 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 Krisztin 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!

If you're a fan of adventures in the fantasy land of Allansia, you're in for a treat! Ian Livingstone designed and wrote a new gamebook back in 2019 that was almost a nostalgic love-letter to fans of his previous outings, such as Deathtrap Dungeon and The Forest of Doom. In fact some see Assassins of Allansia as sequel to City of Thieves, as the hero is "said have killed Zanbar Bone". We'll let you come to your own conclusions in just a couple of weeks, when the digital gamebook appears magically on the Fighting Fantasy Classics bookshelves.

Fightasy Fantasy gamebooks have been published a number of times over the decades by different book publishers. This lead to some of the titles having new artwork commissioned in later publications by Wizard Books or Scholastic due to licensing constraints or simply to fit in with the times.
When adding a new title into Fighting Fantasy Classics we like to try and match the artwork as close as possible to the original 80s Puffin green-spine release. This isn't always possible for a number of reasons, but we're super excited to announce that we have secured the rights to use Jim Burns' original Freeway Fighter artwork!
Many FF fans around the world will remember when the 13th Fighting Fantasy title dropped on to shop and library shelves in 1985. They were blown away by Jim's iconic cover artwork that captured a stylish Mad Max-style dystopian future.

In 2022 the world's population was virtually wiped out by a lethal germ. YOU are one of the few survivors living in the fortified town of New Hope. Outside roam the lawless new barbarians - death and destruction is their way of life.
Sound familiar? That's because it's the back cover blurb of Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy gamebook, Freeway Fighter, originally published as a paperback in 1985. YOU (or at least other FF fans like you) have decided that this should be the next title to appear in the Fighting Fantasy Classics library!
We ran a Twitter poll through our @TinManGames account with 117 FF fans choosing the next adventure. As you can see the results were pretty one-sided, with 54.7% of respondents gunning for Ian's post-apocalyptic Mad Max inspired adventure gamebook.
Thankfully that was one of the titles we were working on, so expect to hop into your armour-plated Interceptor and fire off a few rockets in a few months.
Please let us know which Fighting Fantasy titles you would like to see added to the Classics library! There's been a surge of interest again since we released Creature of Havoc and Temple of Terror, so expect to see a few more additions this year!

Hi there adventurers! For some time now we've been receiving bugs relating to book covers not appearing, bookshelves being empty and in a few cases the game not loading at all. While we've been able to fix these in most cases as they appear, they have been symptoms of a larger problem with the way we loaded books and illustration artwork. Therefore we decided to completely overhaul our book loading system, which should not only completely solve these problems, but will ensure we can more easily and cleanly add new books in the future. As all of these changes are under the hood, you shouldn't notice any changes to your Fighting Fantasy Classics experience. However as with any software development updates, despite thorough testing, new issues may arise. We're pretty sure this shouldn't be the case, but if you experience any bugs please let us know at minion (at) tinmangames (dot) com (dot) au or post a new discussion thread in the forum.

TRIAL OF CHAMPIONS has arrived! The sequel to Deathtrap Dungeon joins a stellar roster of fantasy adventures in Fighting Fantasy Classics - the ultimate library of text-based role playing games. And to celebrate, it's 25% OFF! Check it out here.
Trial of Champions sees you delve into the dread corridors of Baron Sukumvit’s terrible challenge for a second stab at glory. But beware! The Trial will be even more devilishly difficult this time as you begin your adventure having been captured and sold into slavery! With nothing to prepare you for this arduous adventure but your SKILL, LUCK and STAMINA, you must explore the deadly labyrinth beneath Fang. For only by triumphing in the Trial can you win back your freedom from Baron Sukumvit’s evil brother – Lord Carnuss.
Will it be enough?!

In the midst of our excitement to roll out our last update, we sadly let a small bug slip into the build at the last moment that caused download/update problems for a number of FFC players. We're really sorry if you were affected!
We've rolled back to a previous build that should clear up the problem but we need to look into the issue a bit more over the next week to make sure there's no additional nasties hiding in that piece of code.
Hopefully the roll back should fix most people's issues, but please do drop a message on the discussion boards if you're continuing to have problems. Sorry again!

The day is here! Fighting Fantasy Classics is now available! To celebrate release, all DLC gamebooks are 25% off for a limited time! Including:
Fighting Fantasy gamebooks have captured the imagination of readers for many years. We know that it was the gateway into fantasy worlds and gaming for many of you out there, and we're chuffed to be the ones giving Fighting Fantasy's classic titles of the 80s and 90s a new home in your Steam library.
If you wish to try-before-you-buy, all players have access to the full-length swashbuckling pirate gamebook Bloodbones for FREE! Bloodbones sees you take on the role of a traveller intent on their quest to track down and defeat the dread Pirate Lord Cinnabar who has been inflicting a reign of terror on the populace for years!

As long as the support is there, we want to keep releasing, so please spread the word to help bring more classic titles to life. We'd love if you could vist the Community Hub and let us know which books you'd most like to see adapted next, and what features are important to you moving forward. We'll be listening!

Hello adventurers,
There's less than 48 hours left until the release of Fighting Fantasy Classics! Before long you can return to the fabled realm of Allansia and explore the many stories it has to offer.
The game will be a free-to-play download for all Steam users, with every player receiving one full-length gamebook for free with their download - the swashbuckling pirate adventure Bloodbones!
Bloodbones sees you take on the role of a traveler seeking vengeance against the powerful Pirate Lord Cinnabar. The dread Captain raided your village and murdered your family many moons ago, and YOU have journeyed to the Port of Crabs to hunt him down and have your revenge.
The original gamebook is notorious for being the "lost" Fighting Fantasy title and although it was written during the books' Puffin paperback run of the 1980s and 90s, it wasn't published until 2006 by Wizard Books. Now, Bloodbones makes a triumphant return as part of our Classics library.
We’ll have seven other classic Fighting Fantasy gamebooks available for purchase at launch, including Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Deathtrap Dungeon and Citadel of Chaos.
Stay tuned for more news and updates on all things Fighting Fantasy.
Until then, may your LUCK prosper and your STAMINA never fail!
