Having recently discovered how cool the miniatures from Archive Miniatures “Star Rovers” line was – I was interested in getting a copy of the game. Thanks to eBay, I got a brand new one at a reasonable price.
It was an sci-fi RPG from 1981. While it was “Module 1”, I do not believe that any other modules were printed.
The game looks pretty cool – and there was a lot of cool artwork. As I have been amassing Archive Miniature Star Rovers figures like Star Ducks and Power-Armored Frinx, I am hoping that reading the game will help me. Also, there was an original Archive catalog in mint condition in the box as well.
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing all this, Ma’k. I really like the nostalgic look of the Phrinx.

The Frinx are cool – (with an F not a Ph!) – notice that you could get them back then for $.85 (Star Ducks too). The game is really nice aesthetically too. Some of them are selling for a lot, but of course getting a buyer at the high prices is not easy. Given that you are making Frinx and Duck legions I wanted you to see this. Not sure why the Frinx would be riding a glyptodon but that indeed was one of the figures Archive came out with. I would love to GM a Star Rovers campaign someday, but not likely soon.
