UFO 50

UFO 50 is a collection of fifty games, all allegedly designed in the 8-bit era for a fictional console. 

If you're in your fifties or sixties, these games will be comfort food. They'll remind you of early arcade games, or maybe your first console. Their breadth is remarkable--almost every game genre is represented--and so is their depth. 

There's apparently a big meta running through the games that I haven't discovered yet. I've played 41 of 50 so far (some for only a few minutes), and they're all spot-on in evoking and era that many of us miss.

These games aren't easy. Very era-appropriate.

Only $25, too. Quite the bargain. 

Here's a Steam link: UFO 50.

Oh, and I far prefer playing these games with a controller, too. YMMV.
