Fifty games in one package, all of them designed to look and feel like they were made in the 1980s by a fictional game company. That sounds like a gimmick. It is not. Some of these fifty games are genuinely excellent on their own terms, and none of them demand anything from your hardware. UFO 50 earns its place here specifically because it is the best argument on this list for variety. If you are tired of roundups that are just roguelikes and farming sims, this is the antidote. The old-school design sensibility means some games require patience to understand, but that is more a feature than a flaw for the audience it is aimed at.

Overview
About UFO 50
