50 BRAND NEW GAMES These are NOT minigames or microgames Although the size of each game varies every one is a complete experience from its opening title screen to its ending credits Some are small arcade-style games but there are also larger open-world adventures and a JRPG that could take many hours to beat
AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE According to the story of UFO50 the games were all created by a fictional80 s video game company that was obscure but ahead of its time Some games are sequels to other games in the collection and various characters appear in multiple titles as part of a shared continuity
AN INSTANT LIBRARY All50 games are available to play at the start The concept was inspired by multicarts retro collections and the experience of going to a friend s house and perusing their game library Jump in and out of games at a whim exploring the collection is part of the fun
AUTHENTIC BUT ALSO MODERN We carefully chose what elements to modernize Every game shares a unique32 color palette and we took great efforts to make them look and sound like actual8 bit titles from the80 s On the other hand it was important to us that UFO50 was fun and surprising for modern players so we chose not to limit ourselves to the genres and design conventions of the past
