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".[5]


Legacy


In September 2009, the first sequel was released. It is called Oscar in Toyland, and it is themed around toys. The second sequel was released in February 2010, called Oscar in Movieland, and is themed around various movie genres. The third sequel was released in February 2011. It is called Oscar in Toyland 2, and is a sequel to Oscar in Toyland. About 5 months later, on July 28, the fourth and final sequel was released. It is called Oscar's World Tour, and the theme is going around the world. All of these sequels were only released on DSiWare.
