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! Edited May 7 by Sabertooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 (edited) 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. 😒 Edited May 12 by Sabertooth RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabertooth Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 There was an update to the game and it's now fully playable again. If you value original content from these creators, please support this FANTASTIC game. Do not download the leaked 2600 ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
