What would happen if you combined Ghosts 'n Goblins with Graduis? You'd get a game a lot like Oscar! And that's no bad thing, as both the aforementioned games are awesome, and for that reason, Oscar is pretty awesome too.
Now while Oscar has been cited as being influenced by the cult favourite Amiga game, Turrican, it was Oscar which actually came out three years before the first Turrican game - making it the inspiration for the tech styles run-and-gun game. With varied levels and loads of action, it's the Gradius style weapon upgrade system that really sets the game apart... and like Gradius, is the most criticised aspect of the game. Don't miss out on this one!
