Hey, I had no idea Buck Rogers came out on the Genesis. How is it? I know Pools of Radiance came out on the NES, but that port is pretty bad. That's the only console SSI port I'm familiar with.

Starflight is one of my favorite games on the Genesis, and it's the definitive port BTW. Graphics and combat are better than the C64, and they ditched the pointless non-functional artifacts. Makes sure you get the manual with it. Great backstory with some clues too.

Ya, the manual is a great guide to follow in an attempt to beat the game...

I enjoy Buck Rodgers on Gen. It is similar to the DOS game. Less characters but supposedly more planets or some such. Hobie and I actually saw a copy at the local flea market a month ago or so. I already had it or I wouldve snatched it up. I would definitely recommend you check it out though.
