jwild Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 64147 I like it that the game pauses on the score screen so that you can easily take a picture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Here's my score: (however, I just noticed I was running the 50Hz version; going to try with 60Hz) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Good looking game. One shot. Apparently never gave it any time. Nice actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 when i was dinking with the game here recently, i found it kind of difficult to use the TI joysticks to shoot diagonally (you can too, but it's super awkward). This may be the month where I'm compelled to get an adapter and maybe a Slik Stick or an Epyx joystick, haha. As an aside, I didn't play this game on the TI the first time around, our copy was on the C64- I absolutely LOVE the Synapse games. People actually USE the TI joysticks?

digdugnate Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Yesss bc some ppl don't have the adapter yet. Lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 OK, 60 Hz now ... The bad thing about Buck Rogers, comparable to Moonsweeper, is that there seems to be nothing to discover after the first minute of gameplay. Compare with TI Invaders, where it took months or years of practise for an average player to advance to new levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just played it, but I do not get the Redo /Back and jumps straight to buck Rogers screen (and score is gone) had around 30000+).

One with speech and normal startup screen and white space ships left top corner. And one green space ships and no intro Sent from my VIE-L29 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I'm using the Sinchai Joystick adapter with my trusty Competition Pro. Sadly, I just learned from the Forum64 that the Sinchai shop has closed, obviously for private reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I just learned from the Forum64 that the Sinchai shop has closed, obviously for private reasons. I used to have the Sinchai, but my soldering is not so good and therefore the joystick sometimes disconnected. I still have it somewhere. I bought these USB adapters and works great: https://joy.sophics.cz/dual-joystick-usb-adapter/ (but if you search in Google there are many other USB to joystick adapters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Question (I still need to try Buck Rogers on the real TI, but I am playing in Classic 99) There are kind of 3 stages per level (colour = level?) * sometimes when the ship crashes it sets me back to the first stage (in the same level) and sometimes reaching stage 3, it goes back to 1st stage * also the Speech is garbling sometimes * and in the 1st stage if you have to fly in between the poles and there is only 1 pole visible it does not count Was just wondering if you guys have the same experience? Otherwise I need to try the other emulators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 * also the Speech is garbling sometimes This is Classic99, not the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globeron Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 It looks like there is a 3rd version of Buck Rogers. I am playing around with all the emulators Do you all have these same sound effects ? ( ) In PC99W CADD emulation it seems to run slower, but the sound effects and speech are different Score 80212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globeron Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) (after struggling to get the nano-PEB to work... I almost forgot what I wanted to do). Goal to check the Buck Rogers module on the real TI-99/4A (the one with the proper title screen / speech and stops after playing to take down the score) 1. the 2048K module has Buck Rogers, but this is the kind of Beta version 2. the Extended Basic V2.7 module has Buck Rogers (press space), but also the beta version 3. I have Buck Rogers on a disk, but also the beta version. 4. I do only have a Flashrom module here (cannot run Grom files), and my FinalGrom is not in my hands 5. only option I have is nano-PEB (or the real-PEB with diskdrives) >EDIT 5a. I just realized I also have the uberGROM, but never burned a .BIN image myself (but I did the rasmus ones last time) also will give this one a try to see if it works. Question how do I get the .BIN or .GRM files converted to a readable format on the TI ? 6. this is a .dsk file I made with the source files BUCKROGERS.dsk Not sure if the file formats or names are okay PHM3226, PHM32261, PHM32262 (are the .GRM files) and PHM3226C, PHM3226G3, PHM3226G4 are the .BIN files I try to load via Editor Assembler option 6 (Run Program file on the Suite 2.7 TI Editor/Assembler) and also option 5 on a normal EA module. 7. Is there a program that can covert between the file formats? (or is this problem something similar as the inverted images ? ) 8. If there someone who has the full version of Buck Rogers in a .dsk format (to load on nano-PEB)?
