Customer Review: Welcome to the 25th Century!
Summary: 4 Stars
Welcome to the 25th Century!
It is the year 2456.
Humanity has spread across the terraformed planets and satellites of the solar system. Colonies drift through the upper regions of the Jupiter gas clouds and cities have been carved out of asteroids. Mars, seat of power among the inner worlds, is home of the powerful, despotic Russo-American Mercantile (RAM). Its goal: The enslavement of the solar system.
But what of Earth?
The ancestral home of mankind now struggles to overcome the devastation of war and pollution. All hope for a return to its former glory lies with a daring band of rebels, the New Earth Organization (NEO) led by Buck Rogers.
Now, you and the members of your team can join Buck and his allies to rid the solar system of RAM tyranny!
Countdown to Doomsday is a detailed computer role-playing game based on TSR's new Buck Rogers XXVc role-playing system, and uses a specially enhanced version of SSI's award-winning AD&D computer fantasy role-playing system.
Assemble a team of RocketJocks, Warriors, Engineers, Rogues and Medics, recruited from Terrans, Martians, Venusians, Mercurians or genetically engineered Desert Runners and Tinkers.
As your team explores the solar system, characters gain valuable skills such as piloting, zero-G maneuvering or demolition. These skills can prove more valuable than a good laser pistol in the toxic atmosphere of Venus or the sun-blasted surface of Mercury.
But hang on to that laser pistol! The 25th century is a dangerous place - especially for those who join Buck Rogers and NEO in the heroic fight for interplanetary justice and freedom!
Join Buck Rogers and the Rebels of NEO in the struggle against RAM domination!
The vacuum of space is no place to lose a shoot-out! Use our kinetic cannons, missiles and lasers to blast galactic pirates and RAM ships into space dust.
Interplanetary space travel is managed with the aid of the solar system map. This invaluable instrument provides your with both "system" and "local" views.
Engage in tactical combat on the surface of Mars with rocket rifles, laser pistols, needle guns, grenades, even cutlasses or thin, keen-edged mono knives.
