• From the creator of Activision's H.E.R.O.™ game comes a spiritual successor game that takes the player into the bowels of an alien spaceship to rescue an abducted princess.

  • Navigate through lethal aliens, robot guards, and armed flying drones in a race against time and dimishing suit energy to find where the princess is being held.

  • Dodge superheated walls and radioactive floors; time pneumatic openings that can crush you if you are too slow; and use your plasma gun to clear out weaker enemies.

  • Complete 20 levels to earn the title of HERO. Reaching HERO status unlocks up to 60 more levels of game play! As you advance through these bonus levels your energy is depleted more rapidly, and energy pickups are weaker. How far can you go?

  • The STATUS screen shows the start-to-finish elapsed game timer for the speed runners among us.

  • Every game ROM is numbered with a unique serial number and other cryptographic features that ensure the sanctity of each collectible copy of the game.

The game contains no hardware acceleration, and uses no technology that was not available at the time of Pitfall!™, Keystone Kapers™, and H.E.R.O.™

  • There is no more “take a picture of the screen to submit your high score.” Using technology pioneered for the Atari 2600 by Audacity Games™, a QR code is displayed on the game screen to transmit your scores to our servers.

  • Game owners can register their copy of the game on our servers (also using a QR code) and access our worldwide high score boards.

    40 years after the release of his iconic game H.E.R.O., legendary programmer John Van Ryzin makes his triumphant return to the 2600 with another videogame masterpiece, Alien Abduction! Inspired by John's hit game you must rescue Princess Zyrvanni while blasting your way through action-packed levels of advancing difficulty filled with ugly green, slimy aliens. I was held captive for hours playing Alien Abduction!
