Game description:

Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom is a 3D shoot'em-up game, in which you have to cross through 2 zapping alien posts to reach the end of the level, while avoiding hostile space hoppers.


What I think:

It could've been a good game, but you can't see enemies coming form behind and I died sometimes because I thought I could fly over enemiesm as I was in the air and they were at the bottom. So the height scale is another problem.

But despite its flaws it's not a bad game...but a bad conversion of the Arcade game.
