This was an utter surprise release. A new 2600 game by John Van Ryzin released exclusively on the AtariVCS!

I have it and it's just what you'd want and expect in all of it's 16K goodness! No word yet on a physical release.

This looks really awesome.  A spiritual successor to HERO. 

 

Honestly, it plays like a sequel to H.E.R.O. with different sprites to avoid licensing issues. It's really cool to seen this kinda digital release in the modern VCS.

Well done @Davpa and team for making this happen. It's a big win!

Just a note from Twitter RE a temporary locking of Alien Abduction:

There is an issue with a new encryption we had to put on the file due to piracy attack.  To make sure the games are secure we can't roll it back.  The game will be down for a short time until we can fix all this.

You can thank a jerk on YouTube for the drama. This is why we can't have nice things. 😒
