Star Fleet Battles Pocket Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Average Rating (2 ratings)

While Star Fleet Battles Captain's Edition is still going strong, this is the version that launched an entire universe!

Originally published at Origins in 1979, this little pocket game was to prove to be one of the longest running in the history of the industry. Copies of this pocket game rarely show up on auction sites and routinely bring more than $100. Now, you can complete your collection for a very modest cost.

This is a scan of an original printing. We actually blew the original 5.5x8.5 pages up to 8.5x11 to make the original tiny 7-point print easier to read.

This includes the complete game, with the original rules, the eight original Ship System Displays (some of which had shaded boxes so they could function as two different ships), the original charts, and a scan of the original counters.

We did not include the map, but it's just a blank hex map and we've all got at least one of those anyway.

We even included the original advertising from the inside covers!

Complete your Star Fleet Battles collection now with the original pocket game!

Very heavily compressed pdf, small size but impossible to read on my old tablet. Hopefully they will update with a better scan that hasn't been optimized so much.

Douglas, sadly this is the best scan available for us. Some people have had better luck using the Adobe app rather than the standard PDF app that comes with many tablets.

Downloaded the Adobe reader to my iPad 1 and the pdf looks fine using this app, thanks Leanna for the suggestion :)

Unfortunately it seems to be missing the movement sheet that tells you when ships move and when they can turn. It's an interesting read but totally useless if you want to play the game.

Jeremy, we are *so* glad that you discovered we accidentally missed a page. The book now has 43 pages and includes the movement chart on page 43. Thanks for alerting us to this problem!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
