'''''Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom''''' is an early arcade game developed by [[Sega]] which uses the ''Buck Rogers'' comic book/television license. It was one of Sega's first licensed video games, along with ''[[Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator]]'', debuting in 1982. The game shares the same hardware used in ''[[Turbo]]'' and is a pseudo-3D rail shoot-'em-up - revolutionary at the time of release. It was also one of the first games to fit this genre that did not make use of vector graphics. Like ''Turbo'', many sections of the HUD such as score were kept on external LED displays, meaning extra precautions must be taken when the game is emulated in programs such as [[MAME]].

{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is an early arcade game developed by [[Sega]] for [[VCO Object]] hardware. It uses the ''Buck Rogers'' comic book/television license, and stands as one of Sega's first licensed video games, along with ''[[Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator]]'', both debuting in 1982. The game is adapted from the earlier ''[[Zoom 909]]'', a largely identical game seen predominantly in Japan.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
''Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom'' is one of the earliest examples of a "rail" shoot-'em-up game. Gameplay is played in a pseudo-3D third-person perspective, with enemies and obstacles moving towards the camera. 2D sprites are scaled in real-time to give an illusion of depth - technology which would serve as a basis for a plethora of arcade games produced by Sega in the 1980s.
 +
 
 +
In its original arcade form, each "round" is divided into 8 "sectors", each with slightly different aesthetics and gameplay. When a round is complete, the game loops, becoming more challenging in the process.
 +
 
 +
==History==
 +
===Legacy===
 +
''Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom'' was brought to a wide variety of home consoles and computers between 1982 and 1985, including the Apple II, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit family, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, IBM PC (as a PC booter), TI-99/4A, VIC-20 and ZX Spectrum, each suffering slightly due to weaker hardware. Due to odd circumstances, the MSX received two ports of the game by different developers and publishers, one under the ''Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom'' name, and another as ''Zoom 909''.
 +
 
 +
An [[Amstrad CPC]] version was advertised by [[Amsoft]] in 1985 but was not released.
 +
 
 +
==Versions==
 +
Most of the home conversions opt only use two different types of levels - a "ground" level which acts as a hybrid between the arcade sectors 3 and 7, and a "space" level which plays like sector 2 (albeit often without a background). Only the ColecoVision version attempts to replicate the arcade game's content in full - it still drops some sectors (there are six in total, and called "sections" in this port), but by featuring tunnels, it remains the closest home conversion of the game (though home ports of ''Zoom 909'' for the MSX and [[SG-1000]] also feature tunnels).
  
''Planet of Zoom'' saw a much wider release than ''Turbo'' as it was brought to more home consoles and computers. It was ported to the Apple II, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, MSX, PC Booter, TI-99/4A, VIC-20 and ZX Spectrum between 1982 and 1985, each suffering slightly due to weaker hardware. It is one of the few Sega games not to be ported to a Sega console, and has not been re-released as Sega no longer own the license to produce ''Buck Rogers'' games.

Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom is an early arcade game developed by Sega for VCO Object hardware. It uses the Buck Rogers comic book/television license, and stands as one of Sega's first licensed video games, along with Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, both debuting in 1982. The game is adapted from the earlier Zoom 909, a largely identical game seen predominantly in Japan.

Gameplay

Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom is one of the earliest examples of a "rail" shoot-'em-up game. Gameplay is played in a pseudo-3D third-person perspective, with enemies and obstacles moving towards the camera. 2D sprites are scaled in real-time to give an illusion of depth - technology which would serve as a basis for a plethora of arcade games produced by Sega in the 1980s.

In its original arcade form, each "round" is divided into 8 "sectors", each with slightly different aesthetics and gameplay. When a round is complete, the game loops, becoming more challenging in the process.
