Mossmouth done did it. They made a pack of 50 full games in a trenchcoat and are now selling it to you for twenty bucks. It's the most ridiculous deal since the Orange Box. Currently at 35 hours of playtime, I have only finished five of these, so anything I say here will seem inadequate - but already I got my money's worth, so I figured I'd put my review in.

The concept of UFO 50 is a fictional console and company from an alternate timeline of the 80s. Each of the games for this console comes with a fake release year for when it was supposedly made and is credited to imaginary developers like Gerry Smolski and Benedict Chun. They span all kinds of genres, from action games to adventures, puzzles, horror, a 4X strategy game, a deckbuilder, an idle game (?) among others. They're all really well made, and really hard. Trying to complete all of these would be the true test of gamers as you'd have to be good at every kind of video game. But since there are so many, if you're struggling or something doesn't click with you, you can just drop it and try another game. A love letter to bygone days, I would recommend this to anyone, but especially people who enjoy retro games.
