DaCostaBR: Probably because they see no demand for it? I didn't even know any Buck Rogers games existed.

If you want them then create a wishlist for them, it's your best bet.
Looks like someone did not had a Megadrive as a kid.

I did actually, still, it's the first time I've ever heard of them.

I heard about that, but I still have my old one and all my games. I can try to look it up. It seems kinda turn-based RPG-ish, not really what I went for back then, but maybe it could interest me now.

BTW,on Thursday I saw a brand new Megadrive with 25 games included for only 50 Reais at a toy shop.
I might go back there and see if they still have it.

The only Buck Rogers I know is from a terrible Space Harrier-esque game.
Apparently it was a big deal back in the day.
The first thing I think of though is Bucky O'Hare.

That game was rad in the arcades! People waited in line to get to play that. Sitting in a "cage" and play wasn't common at all when that game came out.

Might be worth it depending on the conector they use now. I can make my old one work on my HDTV but it looks terrible. Which is a shame 'cause I do miss playing stuff like Sparkster.

I'm thinking about this one. It was very popular when new in the arcades. Wasn't many games that had a sort of cockpit you could sit in and play back then.

The one you mean wasn't that bad either. I played that a lot on my C64. I think it's the same. :)

Buck Rodgers is a Gold Box game based on a TSR property.
GOG already has crossed that hurdle with the DnD property with
Wizards of the Coast, so likely Buck Rodgers would not be that hard
to get their approval on.

It is probably reasonable to assume Gog got access to it when they did the
rest of the gold box.

Finally, reading over that law suite, its basically arguing over whether
Buck Rodgers is in the public domain or an owned property.

So GOG could be reasonably be waiting to see what the ruling is to
see if they even need that license.
