- TRIVIA -
Released in December 1982.
Also released as "Buck Rogers - Planet of Zoom [Upright model]"
This game is also known as "Zoom 909".
This games continue feature was unlimited, (which made the high score meaningless). That 'feature' made the game unpopular with the best players, (what's the point if you can just buy the top score ?).
Kelly Keenan holds the official record for this game with 1,016,495 points on April 12, 1984.
