Anyone of you also played the Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday RPG from SSI?

I hadn't heard of it until today. The only non-D&D SSI adventures I tried were Shard of Spring and Demon's Winter. I guess I was never that interested in the more Sci-fi style games.

I've played part of Countdown to Doomsday. Never got around to finishing it though. It's a tough game. A bit difficult to get used to if your used to playing the Forgotten Realms series. New stuff to learn, alien races, new classes, and a whole lot of weapons.

I played Demon's Winter, too. This was indeed one of the first games I played on the C64 (following BT).

I liked the rocket launchers and plasma throwers most. ^^

I played Buck Rogers back in the day on the C64 (I think, might have been the amiga however) it was pretty good, SSI did some nice ones back then.
Questron and Phantasie were two of amy all-time faves. Though think my favourite rpg of all time was one called "the magic candle" from Mindcraft, something of an ultima clone but very well done
