May 20, 2025: The First Glimpse Of The . . . Robot Commando?!

Our ongoing work with bringing the Fighting Fantasy books to the United States continues apace. Even as we make plans into the future, it's still fun to look into the past. Case in point: a recent Facebook post from Museum of Games Ireland showing the cover page of a Fighting Fantasy book entitled "Robot Hero" . . . which eventually saw life as Robot Commando .

Along with Scorpion Swamp and Demons of the Deep , Robot Commando is one of the three Fighting Fantasy books written by the American-born Steve Jackson (who may well be editing these very words I type). As a fan of older tech, it's a thrill seeing what I believe is a dot-matrix printout – along with the perennially popular red ink indicating editorial tweaks.

I can't confirm or deny at this time that our publishing plans include  Robot Commando , but – speaking as a fan – I'd certainly love to get as many reprinted volumes on my own bookshelf as I can . . .

For the latest happenings in the world of our Fighting Fantasy reprints, please keep an eye on either our Fighting Fantasy web page or right here on the Daily Illuminator. And for the latest happenings at the Museum of Games Ireland, you can check out their website or their Facebook page.
