[edit] Gameplay
Space Assassin is the second Fighting Fantasy book in the science fiction genre, the first being Starship Traveller. The book places the player on the starship Vandervecken, where a crazed scientist plans to unleash a hideous experiment upon the player's homeworld. This experiment will destroy all life as it exists on the planet and leave only mutants in its wake - the player's mission is to stop the scientist at all costs.
The player must make his way through the labyrinthine Vandervecken, overcoming robots, mutants and other science fiction staples until he finally confronts the scientist. If he manages to defeat him the planet will be saved and the player deemed successful.
