doctorclu Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 "Get out your card decks and backgammon boards, lucky Buck is Back" [Featured in the 03 version.] [Due to flicker effect, above is a combination of two screen shots.] Recently played Buck Rogers on the Retron 77 and enjoyed it, but said to myself the same thing I've said over the years "If only Buck Rogers had a Thunderfighter like in the 1980s TV show. OH WAIT... I sprite hack now!" I'll try to make other adjustments, but so far the fonts and the ship are designed to match the show with Gil Gerard. Shame Twiki can't make an appearance.

doctorclu Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Alright, now to see about that title screen... Haven't had this much fun since I worked on the C=64 version of Bubsy. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4100747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Uploaded 02 which has * The "Buck Rogers" on the intro screen and part of my tinkering of a picture, obviously in the works. * In game Thunderfighter sprites are more developed.

doctorclu Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Had a lot of fun recently. Somewhere between operating a 1980's Buck Rogers Thunderfighter/Starfighter and some Def Leopard music kicking in my Cybermorph training I got to around level 8 and the score you see below. Need to finish this hack for sure.

TrekMD Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This is cool! Simple but a nice hack to tie the game to the TV show. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4111944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I plan to hack the enemy ships soon and make a few other changes.

doctorclu Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 This game is coming back into the radar for me. Created version 3 tonight where I changed the intro screen from the thunderfighter picture to "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". See what more I can change to have this match the look of the show like the enemies and stargates. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4171289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 We are in a new year, and I am slowly adding improvements. In version 4 we have the enemy fighters designed more like the hatchet Draconian fighters. More changes to come in 2019. (Also plan on looking into the Atari 800/5200 versions too in this year) [Thunderfighter toy i recently fully restored.) 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4204731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I thought about doing this at one time. Awesome. Just need Draconion Marauders as enemies. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4204757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 I thought about doing this at one time. Awesome. Just need Draconion Marauders as enemies. Thought Hatchet fighters was another name for the Marauders. Or they used the same model. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4206356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 So opening this up for ideas. I have fun hacking this game off and on. I am happy with the game fonts. I am almost happy with the opening graphic. We have hatchet fighters in revision 4. The boss ship I can change to a Draconian flagship. A really fast moving one though. ? Thinking I can change the Stargates to ones like in the show. For the main ship, I have a model of the Thunderfighter, so I might touch that up more. The laser direction fire at the boss level is just weird. Might play with that some more. Not really sure what to make of the bouncing opponent. Was tempted as joke to make him look somewhat like Twiki but that is crazy. Anyway, warming up to doing more on this, love to hear some ideas. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/282258-buck-rogers-in-the-25th-century/#findComment-4317064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
