Here we have a 1980 Gottlieb Buck Rogers pinball machine for your viewing pleasure.
This is one of the better Gottlieb System 1 machines, in my opinion. The playfield flows pretty well and the captive ball is a neat feature that lights the yellow drop targets for increased bonus multiplier opportunities. This is done depending on how many shots it takes the get the ball from "base" to "return to base" . Doing so in one shot scores 10k points, lights the kickout hole to collect bonus, lights the extra ball lane and resets and lights the yellow drops to increase the multiplier. Completing B-U-C-K lights the red drops for special. It's not a deep game, by any stretch, but the shots are fun and it looks great.
This game was designed by John Buras with artwork by the great Gordon Morison. See here for more information about this game: ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=392
