This anticipated collection brings together a selection of the iconic Fighting Fantasy gamebooks by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, allowing a new generation of players to experience these legendary interactive adventures on Nintendo’s popular handheld-console hybrid. The Fighting Fantasy series first rose to fame in the 1980s, captivating readers and players with its unique text-based role-playing format.
Each gamebook places readers directly in the heart of the action, letting them make choices that determine the outcome of their adventure.
Fighting Fantasy Classics Volume 1 combines this timeless gameplay with the convenience and versatility of the Nintendo Switch, ensuring both seasoned fans and newcomers can enjoy the series anywhere, anytime. Discussing the port to Nintendo Switch, Tin Man Games founder Neil Rennison remarked that the platform is an intuitive match for the interactive stories.
"Experiencing Fighting Fantasy gamebooks on the Nintendo Switch feels completely natural.
We’re thrilled to introduce Ian and Steve’s beloved series to a new audience with this release," Rennison said.
He concluded with the iconic phrase, wishing, "May your STAMINA never fail!" Fighting Fantasy Classics Volume 1 includes four remastered gamebooks: - Warlock of Firetop Mountain: Embark on a perilous journey to seek the Warlock’s hidden treasure deep within monster-infested dungeons.
Players must rely on wits, courage, and luck to outsmart traps and confront menacing foes. - Citadel of Chaos: Beyond the grim gates of the Citadel, deadly monsters and dark sorcery await.
Only by braving the perilous halls and confronting the sorcerer Balthus Dire will you fulfill your mission at the Citadel's heart. - The Forest of Doom: Venture into the shadowy depths of Darkwood Forest to recover the lost pieces of the legendary Hammer of Stonebridge.
Danger lurks at every turn in this desperate race against time to save the villagers from an ancient threat. - Starship Traveler: Take command of the Starship Traveller, sucked into a mysterious universe by the Seltsian Void.
As captain, your decisions determine if the crew finds a way home or stays lost in uncharted space forever. With Tin Man Games' digital adaptation, each gamebook is optimized for Switch controls, providing a seamless and immersive interactive fiction experience.
The worldwide digital release on the Nintendo eShop solidifies Nintendo Switch’s role as a prime platform for resurrecting classic titles and innovative storytelling.
