I used to play Buck Rogers when I was much youger in my 386 (if I'm right) with a Hercules monitor using an utility to emule vga called Spega.
Buck Rogers is a spaceship game, in kind of 3D, where you move yourself right or left to avoid enemies, and try to pass through the "gates" to make points. Of course you can fire for aiming.
I still have it in a 5 1/4 floppy disk and I passed it to my HD after recorvering a 286 with a 5 1/4 drive to use. The problem is that the game is made to been booted and the speed of my PCs (both of them: the 286 and the pentium) run too fast the game to have at least a glance why did I die.
I consider myself an intermidiate PC user and I hear any solution on how to slow down the speed of mi PC for this particular game. In my Pentium I'm running WinME.
P.S.: If anybody wants this game don't hesistate to contact me
My mother tongue is spanish and I also speak french.
