In my youth (I'm an old 34 now!) I played alot of AD&D and escaped in to many fantasy worlds (ah ... what memories). Anyhow, to my question.

I also played Traveller, a D&D spinoff set in the future. You chose a character (Navy, Army, Pilot etc) and travelled through the universe visiting planets with endless quests ...

Did anyone else play this RPG?
Is there any equivelent in the PC gaming world?
If not, why not? It'll make a great change swaping my two-handed sword for a proton cannon and my platemail for some battle-dress armour.
Some Sci-fi RPGs I can think of:

Wasteland (the grand-daddy of all scifi RPGs, I suppose)

Fallout & Fallout 2 (played Fallout 2 - great game!)

Arcanum - an interesting mix of traditional fantasy and industrial elements in the game world.

I vaguely remember some scifi RPG series (Traveller?) that was made about a decade ago, but can'r quite recall what it was.

And of course, the early Might and Magic series and the Wizardry series had scifi elements in it.

Maybe others can add more.
