Released initially in 1982 by [[Sega]], ''Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom'' (also known as ''Zoom 909'') is one of the early progenitors of "Into-the-Screen" [[Shoot'Em Up|Shoot 'Em Ups]], predating even Sega's later and more well-known titles like ''[[Space Harrier]]'' and ''[[After Burner]]''.

Although it's based on the [[Buck Rogers|venerable eponymous space opera]] (specifically ''[[Buck Rogers in the 25th Century]]''), the game [[No Plot, No Problem|has no plot of its own]]... at least for people who [[All There in the Manual|don't have the arcade manual]]. Even then, [[Excuse Plot|it's rather sparse]]: you're Buck Rogers, and you're on a mission to stop a wandering "warrior-world" called the Planet of Zoom before it reaches Earth. Like a certain [[That's No Moon|moon-sized]] [[Star Wars|space station]], the Planet of Zoom devastates everything in its path. The Planet of Zoom is controlled by a source ship. Destroying the ship liberates the Planet of Zoom, [[Save the World|saving Earth in the process]].
