Abducted By Sharks - The New Cyberpunk / Chiptune At It's Finest

I discovered Abducted By Sharks in what could be the most appropriate of places. While checking out new Linux games on Steam I came across a project in development called Black Annex.

The game looks to be a good top down action game in the vein of Shadowrun and the not so well known PC game Syndicate.



After reading through the page I came across the section:

MAN FIGHT DRAGON:
My name is Lance E. McDonald and I am an independant videogame developer behind Man Fight Dragon down here in regional Australia. Black Annex is my love-letter to the games I grew up on (early '90s PC games, basically). The game is written in QBASIC and runs on Windows XP through Windows 8 (I have functional, but very much "pre-alpha" Mac and Linux builds). You can view the entire development of the game starting from Day-1 at http://www.manfightdragon.com/ The amazing Abducted By Sharks supplied all the music for the game, giving it an absolutely beautiful feel which I don't think anyone else could have achieved. You can find lots of great music at www.abductedbysharks.com if you like what you hear in the trailers so far.

I hope you'll enjoy playing Black Annex. I didn't create it for everyone, but I'm sure there are people out there who will have fun with it.

Which led me to Abducted By Sharks Youtube which was an instant win. For someone who grew up in the NES, SNES generation this guys tracks are both new and refreshing, but yet oddly familiar and comfortable.

You can download the tracks over at http://abductedbysharks.com/
