Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom
It is the 25th century. You as the space pilot Buck Rogers are in the middle of a battle for Planet Zoom. A battle of life and death, because your biggest enemy is the hostile carrier spaceship. But before you meet it you will have to use your abilities against electrically loaded posts, alien spaceships and space-hoppers. And always take care of your fuel consumption, as a smash on Planet Zoom will always end in a loss of one of your spaceships. The faster you fly, the less fuel you need. When you have destroyed the carrier spaceship, your fuel will be refilled.

Effort In TASing
As usual, I did this TAS all the way through to get a bench Mark. Learning many techniques, during the first time through, I went back and applied them to a 2nd round of effort. Sadly, I had to do this entire run a full 3rd time, after I realized how to speed up the Boss fights.
Difficulty and Ending Choice
There is no difficulty selection for the C64 version. The level increases, as the game progresses. With this version, the highest level of difficult is Level 5 (As stated in the manual). There after, it repeats the same level...yet the level indicator increases.
