The alien Gorg fleet is preparing to destroy Earth with its massive Doomsday Laser, and only Buck Rogers and his team of specialists can stop it in time. Based on the classic 1940s newspaper comic strip.

A futuristic strategy game in the classic sense - one that players can't possibly hope to comprehend without reading the thick game manual from cover to cover. Graphically unimpressive, too. I'm no simulation buff, but I think players should try more current offerings before tackling this one.
