Many people on /v/ liked this but personally I found it very mid, a lot of games are just ripoff of other well know arcade games (for example the Samurai dodgeball one is just windjammer, the ninja one is just Sonson) also it stinks of California pretty hard especially when you play this fighting game and every single character looks like it came out of a Tumblr blog, just look at this shit
Ultimately it's kinda hard to judge the game as a whole because it's 50 different bite sized games and they all vary wildly in concept, just pirate it and call it a day

Do you think other devs should get together and make a collection like this?

I found a free bundle of homebrew roms on /vr/ and they were great on Retroarch/Mesen (Thank you Roll chad) but

https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/11117501/#11123448

Lizard for the NES, I liked it more than a lot of UFO 50 games, I checked it up and it was $10

I feel bad buying UFO 50 for $20 but the price point was so much better than having each game like Lizard and Nebs n' Debs be $10.

I basically got Mini & Max for like 25 cents lol. But Derek Yu did say it was hard for him to sell his rom collection for so cheap

That's why you don't make the game "so brutal hard and unfun" but instead add in a few fuck you start overs. Things like an impossible jump that can actually just be walked over(tmnt). Or an enemy bird spawning to hit you as you make a hard jump(ninja gaiden).

Again, the "Quarter Muncher Fallacy" is a fallacy BECAUSE incorporating bullshit like this would not profit a game developer. If your game has shit like this in it, then it will flop because people will see these obvious bullshit moments and want nothing to do with your game.

True. A team worked for this because they had a narrative going and so of course the games could share assets like sound design and a similar art direction across all titles. I love UFO50 because to me itโ€™s like casting a wide net to see what players respond to. It gave them room to play around with new ideas. Golfaria was a dud for me, but it was at least different, I respect it.

I'm the anon who has been criticizing this game in every thread since its release, and even so, I think it's worth it. The price is more than fair.

However, you need to have a good idea of what you're getting yourself into. It's a collection of indie games made by indie developers. It's not a collection that simulates the past, it's a collection of modern games. You know how Shovelknight uses a NES color pallete to look old? It's basically the same thing here, the effort to look like an old game is only superficial.

For some, this is a good thing, as old games have some issues that often make them annoying. But for me, it takes away some of the charm of the collection.

Finally, virtually all of the games are quite shallow in terms of gameplay. To give an example, a single "real" arcade-style game, such as Tetris Grandmaster 4, alone has more depth than the entire UFO collection. I've played TGM4 twice as long as I've played UFO 50, and I still feel like I'm slowly improving at the game because the skill ceiling is just huge. There's nothing like that in UFO50.

I recently got all golds in the game and I think that overall its a pretty shitty collection. This guy >>717532465 hit the nail on the head, in that these are not 'retro games', they are just modern indie games with a retro skin. Some of the games (like 15 or so) are decent and may make it worth the price for you, but be aware that the majority of the games are mid to garbage.

About the charm of really "limited" games, I would give Pico 8 as an example. The guys created a virtual console with its real limitations, and that's the only reason why a shitty Doom clone with 3 levels becomes so remarkable. You can see that the devs are really getting the most out of those limitations.
UFO 50 has none of that. The game requires fucking 8 GB of RAM, which is about 30 times what the Playstation 3 had for its games. There are no real limitations there, it's all stylistic. If you're the type who likes old games because the guys were wizards working miracles with horrible hardware, UFO50 will have nothing to offer you. In fact, recent games made for real NES hardware are often much prettier than anything you'll find in UFO50, even though the limitations there are real. Example:

https://youtu.be/s4iZ3yg0U-Q?si=v343xFWqg882KP6l&t=762

The game above runs on original NES hardware, which gives it special value. You won't find anything in UFO50 that reflects this technical aspect. In other words, the artistic value of UFO50 is extremely limited. These are modern games, but they are ugly because the developers are trying to copy an ancient style that is beyond their capabilities.

They're not even really NES roms. They're simplistic indie games painted to look like NES games.

Console limitations aren't really that important. It was difficult to put games like OutRun on home consoles, but devs made it work anyways.
Most 2D games aren't very hard to adapt to limited hardware conceptually, it's not a grand achievement to put newer genres like rhythm, idle, or roguelike deckbuilder on NES hardware. DOOM is remarkable because of its complexity, but it is not very interesting from a gameplay standpoint, especially when it runs like shit.

Limitations are important from an artistic point of view, in my opinion.
Seeing a huge boss fill the entire screen on NES or Master System hardware is always cool, because you know that guys couldn't theoretically do that. But UFO50 has no real limitations, other than the possible limitations of Game Maker, which no one knows what they are...
Of course, someone might suggest that this doesn't matter because it doesn't affect gameplay, but I personally think that a compilation set in an alternate timeline shouldn't be consumed solely for its gameplay. There is an "artistic" layer behind UFO50, but unfortunately, in my opinion, this layer has almost no value. The only remarkable thing there is finding references to old games, and that's it.

Both NES and Master System had 8x8 sprites. Almost every entity in every game used multiple sprites tied together, or tilemap shenanigans, to keep everything from looking like Lemmings.
There is nothing novel about a huge boss, outside of the publisher paying more for more storage on the cart.

Developers pulled some insane tricks on 8-bit systems, but most of them are very small, invisible ASM hacks that players would never see. That was the artistry of games, and is still alive in hobbyist demo scenes today.
UFO 50 is not a contribution to those hobbyist demo scenes.

The NES can only place 8 sprites on the same horizontal line, or something like that, so anything really big can't use sprites. The developers then used backgrounds and moved them around to give the impression that it was a huge monster. But the point here isn't about the solutions the guys came up with, but how overcoming limitations is interesting in itself. It's fun to see someone painting the Mona Lisa in Paintbrush...

>>717538739
My point is that many old games were beautiful despite their limitations. UFO 50 is ugly despite having no limitations. This is the basic difference between something that arouses genuine interest and the fake retro indie pixelshit that finds its greatest celebration in UFO 50.
Yes, UFO 50 is not a celebration of old games, as the game tries to portray itself. It is a celebration of the indie trash of the 2010s, which is why most of the games are simply bad.

I agree with you the art style is ugly and modern in many places, the rest of your critique is you pretending to be a gaming hipster. It does feel like playing a lost old console, they succeeded in that conceit, and the games are mostly very good.

you will easily get enough hours for it to be worth $25.
The main thing to keep in mind is that a lot of games that you may "bounce off" of originally may really start to sink in when you give them ample amount of playtime, so try to be open minded. That being said there are a couple of more mediocre games in the collection but out of 50 that is to be expected, the vast majority are very very fun

I would say the only game I *truly* disliked playing was combatants and that took less than 2 hours I think. Every other game, while some might have had some aspects I originally viewed as annoying, also had a lot of charm and originality that made the grind enjoyable overall.
Another important thing is that some of the games are the type that I would typically ignore (avianos, bughunter, diskonia, paint chase, party house, etc.) had they not been part of the collection. Like if any of these games had their own steam page I probably wouldn't have been interested in them just because I'm usually looking for something else to play. But the fact that I was forced to play them (at least for completion anyway) and then ended up enjoying them a lot really puts a positive spin on my whole outlook.
But let's say you are only looking for how many hours of true, unbiased, unfiltered enjoyment you will get from a base level? At the very least half of the full playtime for full completion. So for my ~300 hours that would still be 150 which is beyond worth the asking price. And that is me just assuming that as soon as you think you are "over" a game you move on to the next and never return to the other one

Oh and I should also add that the grind does not have to be a grind. I completed the game over period of like 10 months so it always felt like something I could fall back on in between playing other games and it was never something I forced myself to play. I actually kind of miss having it in the background, it began to feel like part of my normal life that I would always have some UFO 50 games to complete whenever I wanted lol

I say this with compassion since nothing else has seemed to work, but this really is the tism talking and nobody else cares.
The game came out in the 2020s. Nobody, not even the devs, held it to the standard of pure fidelity to a bygone era except for you. The frame narrative of the game is fictional by design and yet you chime on and on about how it isnโ€™t realistic. Iโ€™s not supposed to be!
You imposed a restriction on the game yourself and have sperged out since release about the game not adhering to it. It just doesnโ€™t matter. The game is fun. Please shut up and touch grass.
At least youโ€™ve toned down the complaints about the game having brown people in it
