One of SSI's Gold Box Series that was based off a tabletop RPG that was essentially a modified version of Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition. IIRC, the CEO of TSR at the time was the granddaughter of the original creator of Buck Rogers in the 20s and she decided to release an RPG version during the late 80s. I actually have scans of most of the old game books. I've always wanted to try the tabletop version out.
