Back in the 80s, I played quite a bit of Star Frontiers – it was TSR’s big foray into space-based sci-fi (as opposed to Gamma World or Metamorphosis Alpha, neither of which involved flying spaceships).
The entire original game, all its adventure modules, and a bunch of supplementary stuff is all online for free at StarFrontiers.com. Looking back, SF had serviceable percentile-based (and skill-based) mechanics, which were new to many of us at the time, and a load of fairly railroady adventures. Still, there are always things worth mining – whether it’s the skeleton of an adventure, some maps, or the counters.
