What players say
In grade school I had the opportunity to borrow my friend's Genesis and his stack of games. We were a SNES family so I had never played these other games outside of the mall. What a joyful week of discovery and wonder. UFO 50 successfully recreates that feeling. Suddenly you have so many wonderful games to play. The excitement of unwrapping a new one to see what it has to offer. This isn't your average large game...
I have never gotten so much from a game that was so cheap. I've been playing 400+ hours and still have tons of games to play. Not every game is AMAZING, but there are so many games out of the 50 that I'd pay for and play stand-alone. This is the best value of any game i've ever bought.
This is one of my few negative reviews on Steam but I want to clarify that I don't think this means the game is low-quality or not worth it for everyone. In fact I'm likely to keep playing it after making this negative review. It runs extremely well and takes little storage space which I think is worth mentioning and praising. I'm leaving a negative review because I feel like a lot of the games are very surface...
