Now this is what those "50 games in 1" things should have been like. Imagine finding something like THIS in a flea market.

[@MidnaOfficial]

this feels like playing the discography of a company from one of those game dev tycoon games

[@AlexPyriteStar]

Even as someone who wasn't born in the 80s this game still gives me nostalgia from when I had a hacked Xbox with an NES emulator installed and just checking out a bunch of random games, good memories

[@moises.305]

Howd u do that

[@Pax_Mayn3]

@@moises.305 Dude, you can hack any old console. Just get a psp 3000, you can play everything on it, snes, genesis, sega cd, neo geo etc. You can't hack the new xboxs. There is a developer mode that lets you run programs, but I don't know if that still works. Just learn how to use emulators, there are tons of games that were translated to english that were never released in the usa, Earthbound 3, a lot for the gba, ds, snes, psp, and you can make it look 10x better than it originally did. You can even just use your phone but that's not that great. If you want every single game from a console just look up "goodsets". It's best just use a computer or laptop, while the most complicated to use, Retroarch once you learn it is the best especially once you learn how to use filters. If you like arcade games or fighting games, you can just use fightcade and it has online lobbies and lots of players, 100s at a time for the most popular games, has rankings and everything.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

same, when I was a kid my eldest brother put a bunch of nes roms (and snes roms) on the family computer and i'd just spend hours screwing around.

[@kirbyfan4]

Donkey Kong on the PS2😊

[@RemnantCult]

I love how this isn't just a reference or parody of those famiclones we would play as kids, but can also stand on its own as a collection of sharply made indie games with a range that could please anybody. It's honestly seriously impressive, I think I could only come up and develop one game of this collection's caliber, let alone 50.

[@Arkouchie]

As I've been selling it, every single one of these would have sold for full box price in the 80s, and been at least cult classics

I remember Devilition back when it came out. It's kinda funny waching Vinny try to play based on memory, cause like, I feel like this was always one of those that you just couldn't play without the instruction manual, since that showed all of the guys patterns

[@swishyfeather]

did they change the sprites for the Times Men and Plus Men or something?? i swear when i was smol they didn't have the literal "X" and "+" on them.... i wonder if it was a localization thing?

Between this & Arzette I love this trend of spiritually remaking infamously bad games into something of quality, much better than remaking stuff that was perfect the way it was & I’m still holding out for that actually good Mario Is Missing spiritual remake (I swear if anyone says it’s already Luigi’s mansion I’m gonna…)

This chat believes in quetzal supremacy. Anyways ufo 50 really does look like it has some really good games that feel nice to play. Devilition being a prime example. But Avianos was definitely the best of the ones played this stream. And the quetzal was the best ancestor, no doubt.

[@BlueMesaCable]

This is really impressive, not just really fantastic art and music, but really great design and interesting ideas - but they are interesting to the point that I feel like many of them would just be better off as their own games in fuller form.

[@scrungo7610]

Glad this is a part 1

[@anophelesnow3957]

I bought it today, It is so good indeed. Vinny wasn't into Magic Garden, but it is horribly addictive. Mortol as well. I'm not far through.

[@yurifairy2969]

bushido ball is extremely fun, need to convince friends to play it with me

Basiclly if Action 52 was made with actual care and passion instead of trying to be a cheap cash grab

[@Kola25_97]

Vince Perri is rolling in his grave/rattling around in his urn right now.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

I dunno, multiple sets of people with basically infinite time to make 50 games in an era where video game development (usually) has more respect (especially for indie devs) versus a cash grab probably made with a severe deadline in a time where games were treated like disposable garbage is kind of a bad comparison.

[@michaelkitchin9665]

@@AnAverageGoblin Yeah, this is more a company retrospective rather than a multicart. The latter tends to take hacks of existing games or repeat the same games to pad out a list.

[@luckluster]

I got the game yesterday and out of 50 games I can confidently say I'll be able to beat maybe handful of them. I do highly recommend to Vinny to play more of Grimstone, maybe even outside of streams. Like 5 hours I've spent on this Final Fantasy like and while it is hard, even smallest of upgrades/build changes is cool and I like how you get to pick 4 out 8 survivors for it (I recommend the Doc, Shaman, Dancer and the Dog)

[@Massiveillusion14]

We actually already have a golf visual novel. Its called Battle Golfer Yui.

[@MarmaLloyd]

The progress tree being 'Little computer people' C64 sold the game to me.

[@lethauntic]

Mooncat is a lot easier if you just imagine the d-pad as one giant button and the face buttons as another giant button. You have two buttons. Left button goes left, right button goes right. Honestly isn't as difficulty as a lot of people are making it out to be.

[@batofdestiny7801]

I got this yesterday. Pilot Quest is like a mix of Cookie Clicker and the Paper Mario mod Black Pit, if you've ever seen gameplay of it. You only have a certain amount of time before you have to escape with the loot you've found, or else you lose it all.

[@ngwoo]

It feels like what Cult of the Lamb would have been if someone thought of it 40 years ago

[@mintyblur]

Quetzal has me acting unwise

[@Tanookicatoon]

Dear Vinny. You were saying Quetzal correctly. it's "Ketsal" just as you were saying. It means "bird" in Nahuatl. Specifically referring to the Resplendent Quetzal, the bird the god Quetzalcoatl (Ketsal koh-ah-t) is named after.

[@TurquoiseIcy]

I'm really waiting for Vinny to play this again, it's the most refreshing game I've seen in a while.

[@dard2240]

Inscryption throws you in after beating Leshy and getting to 4-th wall breaking stuff. UFO 50 feels like a collection of games you can just play regardless of mysteries and codes and still have fun.

Why does it suck?

[@YieM1331]

So it begins....

[@Dogg-a-rama]

That last bit made me curious. Don't own the game, yet, but is this a Petscop-like, where there's some "spooky dark" stuff behind the scenes and hidden creepy shit in the collection itself? I hope I'm wrong. Just let it be a simple collection of games

[@QuestionBlockGaming]

the collection as a whole has a meta-narrative throughline, where you can see reused assets and themes based on the developers, and you can see the shift in attitude from devs having a good time to it being a full company and when some of those devs leave the studio you see some of the fun ideas and creativity kinda leave (that's why there are multiple sequels of the same franchise towards the later years and less one-offs); it's *entirely* unnecessary to engage with that literally at all, and the secret meta-narrative game that was shown at the end is something you'd basically have to find by accident if you didnt know it was there. it's just a small RPG that shows off some "prototypes" of some of the games and explains a good bit about what happened behind the scenes. It's there if you want to engage with it but it's nowhere near front and center.

[@yurifairy2969]

There's a treasure trove of weird secret stuff but it isn't spooky

[@masonasaro2118]

Ehh, sorta? One of the in-universe developers hid a 51st game (and is heavily implied to have made the compilation to begin with) and said hidden game is a huge puzzle involving the other games, as well as exposing dark secrets at the fictitious UFOsoft. Vinny finds it at the end
