While the original book was adapted into a tabletop war game by Avalon Hill in 1976, it was the 1997 Paul Verhoeven film adaptation that propelled the world of SST into a whole new level of popularity and influence.

One of the relatively unknown works based on the 1959 novel is the Bandai Visual/Sunrise 1988 six-part OVA called: Uchu no Senshi (F'Ìím). In this latest installment of Future War Stories from the East, FWS will be FINALLY examining this mysterious SST work in all of its 1980s anime glory…."

The Paul Verhoeven movie is one of the most ridiculously stupid movies I have ever seen. |

Say what you want about the movie. The Arachnids were awesome! I enjoyed it for what it was. The book really wasn't much of a miniatures game. Thanks. |
