Buck Rogers, created by Philip Francis Nowlan, first appeared in newspapers in 1929 and quickly became a groundbreaking character. The comic, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century A.D., followed the adventures of William “Buck” Rogers, who originally appeared in Nowlan’s story Armageddon 2419 A.D. The comic’s story begins with Buck as a World War I pilot trapped in a collapsed mine. Gases within the mine put him into suspended animation, and he wakes up 500 years later to find himself in another war. He quickly rescues Wilma Deering, a future rebel, and joins her group to fight against the Mongols who have taken over America. It’s a uniquely exciting story, and Buck Rogers was once the most popular fictional character globally—and there’s talk of a possible revival.

Man, Growlanser was a game-changer when I first played it. The battles were really strategic, the characters felt genuine, and the story actually branched depending on my choices – it was surprisingly mature for something I picked up on a whim! I was just a kid and grabbed it because the cover looked cool at the store with my parents, but it’s stuck with me ever since. It’s a shame it seems to have been forgotten by a lot of people, even the developers themselves, but I still remember how much I loved it.
