Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom
22K plays 1982 #Action#Shooter
Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom, known as Zoom 909 in Japan, is a 1982 rail shooter developed and published by Sega as an arcade video game. The player controls a spaceship in a third-person perspective, adapting the three-dimensional perspective of Sega's earlier racing video game Turbo (1981) for the space shoot 'em up genre. It uses the Buck Rogers license, referencing the space battles, though Buck himself is never seen.
The arcade game debuted at the Amusement & Music Operators Association (AMOA) show, held during November 18–20, 1982, where it was considered one of the show's best games and a milestone for demonstrating the potential of 3D shoot 'em up gameplay. Ports were released for the SG-1000, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit computers, Coleco Adam, ColecoVision, MSX, Commodore 64, VIC-20, TI-99/4A, Apple II, and ZX Spectrum. The IBM PC version uses CGA graphics.
