Silverfleet Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 That does look pretty cool! That said, I don't know if I want to pay a slug named Slard 100 Moon Drops to get into the "Wild Zone". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Neat! I'll put it on the wishlist and buy it on sale <starts panicking> There are already so many retro games to play . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Good advance press https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/09/pax-west-at-least-eight-of-ufo-50s-games-are-instant-retro-classics/ I made the dubious decision to try and play all 35 games on offer—which appear in a giant menu, looking like a bunch of NES cartridges. Every game is designed to run within the constraints of NES hardware, too, and this doesn't just mean you have to use a two-button, NES-styled controller. While each game in UFO 50 runs on a PC in the GameMaker Studio engine, they also come with deliberate technical limits to things like color palettes and maximum on-screen sprites. (Meaning, an old-school "flickering" effect pops up pretty often.) While I didn't get to all 35 games on the PAX show floor, and a few of them were one-note gimmicks in their preview state, I found enough brilliant stuff in a 40-minute mad-dash sampling to get excited about the full package.

dj_convoy Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Dunno if I need flicker. A bit too retro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StopDrop&Retro Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 As someone who loves obscure plug and plays, I'm really looking forward to this release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I admit that after playing a bit more of Retro Game Crunch that I'm getting more excited about UFO 50. Will still probably wait until it is on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
