Audacity Games™ Announces the Cartridge Release of John Van Ryzin’s Alien Abduction!
Acclaimed designer follows up H.E.R.O.™ (1984) with another rescue adventure game.
Folsom, CA: Audacity Games, a video game publisher focused on designing and publishing boxed game products for a variety of retro game systems, unveils its newest title for play on the Atari 2600 Video Computer System – John Van Ryzin’s Alien Abduction!
In 1984, in the twilight of the Atari 2600 era, Activision® released H.E.R.O.™ (Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation) on the Atari 2600, developed by Van Ryzin. Shipped into a rapidly declining 2600 market, a limited supply of H.E.R.O. cartridges were manufactured, leading many enthusiasts to completely miss its release. Since that time, H.E.R.O. has been rediscovered by the Atari 2600 community, and today, is recognized by many as one of the best games ever produced for the platform. Alien Abduction! represents Van Ryzin’s return to the rescue adventure genre that he pioneered with H.E.R.O.
Audacity Games’ distribution deal with John Van Ryzin marks the reunion of John with David Crane and Dan and Garry Kitchen, all former game designers at Activision during the Atari 2600 heyday.
Alien Abduction! will be available for purchase on the Audacity Games Inc. website at 12:00 pm pacific time on June 15th, 2024. https://www.audacitygames.com/countdown.html
