Melbourne-based Tin Man Games has announced that Fighting Fantasy Classics Volume 1 will be released for Nintendo Switch in early February. The collection of digital gamebooks was written by Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone in the 1980s. Choose your sword, pack your provisions, and embark on quests where you are the hero. Choose what happens at every turn with these remastered text-based role-playing games.
Fighting Fantasy Classics Volume 1 includes The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, The Citadel of Chaos, The Forest of Doom, and Starship Traveller. Future volumes will be revealed at a later date.
“Playing Fighting Fantasy gamebooks on a Nintendo Switch feels like a natural fit, so we’re really excited to bring Ian and Steve’s beloved series to the platform,” said Tin Man Games founder Neil Rennison in a press release. “May your STAMINA never fail!”
Here are descriptions for each game, via Tin Man Games.
- Book 1: Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Your quest is to find the Warlock’s treasure, hidden deep within a dungeon populated with a multitude of terrifying monsters. You will need courage, determination and a fair amount of luck if you are to survive all the traps and battles, and reach your goal — the innermost chambers of the Warlock’s domain.
- Book 2: Citadel of Chaos. The Citadel holds a dark and dangerous peril for anyone foolhardy enough to venture through its gruesome gates. And yet venture you must, for your mission lies at the heart of the Citadel, with the dread sorcerer, Balthus Dire!
- Book 3: The Forest of Doom. Only the foolhardy would risk an encounter with the unknown perils that lurk in the murky depths of Darkwood Forest. Yet there is no alternative, for your quest is a desperate race against time to find the missing pieces of the legendary Hammer of Stonebridge — fashioned by Dwarfs to protect the villagers of Stonebridge against their ancient doom.
- Book 4: Starship Traveler. 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?
This collection features multiple difficulty levels, a map feature, unlimited bookmarks, original artwork, an automated adventure sheet, a specially composed soundtrack, and history of the games.
Developed and published by Tin Man Games, Fighting Fantasy Classics Volume 1 will be released for Nintendo Switch on February 5.
