Awesome Sci-Fi RPG

User Rating: 8.9 | Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday GEN
I got hold of a second hand copy of Buck Rogers back in 93 or something for my birthday one year and after just a few short hours i was hooked.

This game is so much different from you're average RPG due to being set in space, that's what sucked me right in. The 2nd mission is exploring an abandoned spaceship that's been overrun with a deadly virus, once you destroy the virus and complete the mission you salvage the spaceship for yourself and that's when the really great fun begins because you are now free to roam the galaxy in your newly aquired ship. From here you can engage in 1 on 1 spaceship battles where you can board the enemies ship after destroying enough of it to salvage some gear. Or you can explore the various planets, spaceports or asteroid belts in the solar system or continue on with the various missions.

The game has cool weapons too starting off with such weapons as laser pistols and needle guns to eventually having weapons like rocket launchers and plasma throwers which cause serious damage to your opponents.

A highly underrated and rarely heard of game, try it out!
