‘No one has the full picture’: None of the UFO 50 developers have completed all of the UFO 50 games | Gaming

When you open UFO 50 you’re quickly dropped into a grid menu showing 50 pixel art thumbnails for 50 8-bit games. It’s hard to know where to start: should I start with the first? Should I choose at random? Since the default list order runs chronologically, should I play the last, because that one might represent the creative apex of fictional studio UFOSoft?

It doesn’t really matter, in the end, because there’s a lot. I’ve been absorbed by point ‘n’ click horror Night Manor for the past few days, but when I first booted the game I got sucked into Barbuta and Bushido Ball and neglected the other 48 games for days. I’ve gone through a Walforf’s Journey phase too, and I’ve completed some levels in Camouflage and Block Koala. I’ve definitely not completed any of the games.
