Oscar (video Game)
''Oscar'' is a platform game that was released on Amiga, Amiga CD32, and MS-DOS in 1993, and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996. It was developed and published by Flair Software. The CD32 version was bundled with the CD32 console on the same disc as the puzzle game ''Diggers''. A Sega Genesis version planned but never released. The player controls a character named Oscar through seven Hollywood-themed levels collecting Oscars. Reception ''Computer Gaming World'' in April 1994 said that the PC version of ''Oscar'' was "another very average platformy, arcadey, bounce-'em-around" with "confusing" graphics. The magazine predicted that it "will only appeal to total platform addicts who will likely find something better to waggle their joysticks at anyway".
