Play Buck Rogers Countdown to Doomsda Online
Build a ragtag crew of space mercs, then pick your way through tense turn-based shootouts where one wrong move means someone’s getting sucked out an airlock. The missions twist on you like a cheap sci-fi paperback, and that crunchy Genesis soundtrack feels like a dive bar on a failing space station.
Buck Rogers Countdown to Doomsday came out on the Sega Genesis in 1990, developed and published by Sega. It was part of that wave of early 90s sci-fi games that tried to bring complex PC-style RPGs to consoles, with mixed but interesting results.
You control a squad of characters, moving them through a series of missions across different planets and space stations. The main goal is to stop a doomsday device, which involves a lot of turn-based combat, talking to NPCs for clues, and managing your party's equipment and skills. The combat is grid-based and tactical, requiring careful positioning and use of cover, while exploration happens screen by screen, often with random enemy encounters. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty is fairly high, demanding patience and strategy. It feels like directing a low-budget space opera where every decision has weight.
