About the Game

A cult-classic arcade platformer, reborn for modern platforms.

Originally created for Amstrad CPC and winner of the CPCRetroDev 2020 international competition, The Abduction of Oscar Z returns with modern visuals, polished controls, and the same frantic, old-school energy that made it a fan favorite.

Run. Jump. Dodge aliens. Save the farm. Again.
