Gameplay
Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom is a single-player obstacle race in which the player controls Buck Roger's spaceship, guiding it through multiple pylons. The player controls the ship by moving it left or right, moving slightly forward or backwards, and speeding up or slowing down. The player also fires at alien craft with a pair of energy bolts. Play starts off in sector 1.0. In the first level, the player is required to safely navigate 9 pylons safely. With each additional level, more pylons are added to increase the difficulty. Also, in sector 1.1, alien spacecraft are introduced which the player can destroy by shooting them with his/her energy bolts. Each sector introduces new challenges. The game ends when the player loses all three lives by crashing into pylons or enemy ships, or if the allocated amount of time runs out. The score is tallied based on the overall distance travelled during the player's game.
