I like the intro jingle. Other than that, this one has nothing interesting to offer. Stay away from this one and play Sentinel by Synapse or possibly Suicide Strike by Tronix instead.

Loved this game when I was a kid. Simple and fun. The kind of game Galaxy Force should have been on the C64.
Pretty good for its time. This is obviously the main inspiration of Gullwing Falcon on the C16 which is probably even tougher than this.
Not great, but good. Managed to quell that "I wish I had a Coleco Adam" desire somewhat. (of course in retrospect, I'm glad I never had an Adam)
The comments below are reasonably positive, and I agree with them.
I've got this on cartridge--do I click the disk or the tape? :p
Nice games for the old days.
Great game of my child hood... And it's 3 years older than me!
Nice game. Neat sound FX.
The graphics are reasonable for 1983 standards,but the colour scheme is rather awful and the starfield looks like a poor man's Gyruss.Plus,the gameplay is simplistic and monotonous,and when the novelty wears off (about five minutes after you play this for the first time) you'll hardly play
this again.
Suffers from blocky sprites but plays really o.k.
Nothing wrong with this oldie.
This one is also a true C64 classic albeit only for a true C64 fan who has played it when it first came out. I still remember being hooked on this game and thought it was awesome, just the sounds and difficultylevel getting more and more insane
Sure it has nothing to do with Buck Rogers, but its still set in the future so with a little imagination you can make that work as well.I was very disapointed when I got his. Hasn't got anything to do with Buck Rogers!
I used to play a lot of it, but now I think BR is boring after few minutes.
A true gem! One of the first games I played on C64, and still played it years later. Simple but addictive.
I loved this game! Very good game play and smooth, fluid graphics. This seems like a game that was a little ahead of its time for 1983. Nonetheles, a very good game for the 64!
I had a cracked copy of this one and for a long time it bugged me that I couldn't turn right at all - finally I discovered I had kept the joystick in the wrong port! When I switched the port the game suddenly sped up! Strange... Anyway, I never managed to play this beyond the third level, but I don't mind... I had terrific fun with the levels I could master.
Hm I wonder was this the first real 3D space flight game ... No vector crap and stuf like that but with real smooth graphics...
A Classic Game
Good old game. Average graphics and sound but game-play is DIE HARD fun !!! Superb game !!! A x-mas gift that lasts the whole year !!!
Addictive one. However, it bears some unwanted "surprises": it's NEVERENDING.
Yes, I played it beyond level 9 ... And what did I get: Level 0!
Nice one, really. They didn't even bother to save one more digit for the level number
Possibly though, all crack versions from the Net are knackered. Might require to test it on a real thing with a real tape or diskette.
First C64 game I played! Brings back great memories. Simple but addictive game.
Great game. Getting your ship up in space was the fun part. I'm a sci-fi head. Check it out.
One of my favourites. What a great space-sound that Game has! Also the gameplay is fantastic.
One of my favourites. A very simple game, but I always loved it. It's one of those games that gets repetitive after a while, but great for sticking the cart in for a quick game.
If you like old fashioned arcade shooters, you'll like this.
Yeah, all of the action of Buck Rogers! Remember that episode where he flew through all these gates within a tight time limit? No? Me neither! Aliens that come a bit later don't prevent this from being a very average shmup.
