Editing Starship Troopers (section)

== Games ==
There have been a few video games, none outstanding, but [[Avalon Hill]] made a two-player board game way back in 1976 -- in fact, a review of it was included in the very first June-July 1977 issue of ''[[White Dwarf]]''. One player takes the role of the Arachnids and draws up a hidden map of where the bugs are hiding and where their tunnels run, and then the human player tries to root them out. It was re-released following the movie.

[[Mongoose Publishing]] produced a [[d20 System]] RPG and a miniatures game from 2005-2008. Both represented a valiant attempt to gather every extant piece of Starship Troopers material to date, contradictions and all, and make them coexist in their own distinct universe. There were plans to port the RPG to the [[Traveller]] system and produce a second edition of the miniatures game, but they no longer have the license.

[[Alternity]] came out a year after the Verhoeven movie hit screens, and it's flagship Star*Drive setting included a vaguely trooper-esque storyline.  At the very edge of explored space the Silver Bell colony is wiped out by a spacefaring insect hive, forcing the Galactic Concord to dispatch a military force to investigate the new threat and drive them from the system.
