A beautiful love-letter to what makes gaming so unique. 50 various retro-stylized games that could've been its own thing entirely, everything clearly has love poured into it. Absolutely deserving of GOG status so you can truly 'Play Forever'.
It's literally a game about good old games. How is this not on GOG already??
I have not played it my self yet, I hope to do that with a future GOG release. But I've watched & listened to hours of people praising this game as one of the best of 2024. And I can't stop listening to the almost 7-hour-long!! 8-bit soundtrack goodness these games come with. This project truly is an incredible achievement.
There's literally 50 games here, you're sure to find a favorite among them.
UFO 50 is the chronicle of a fictional console that was thought to be lost, until you the player find it one day. The games do often veer into the challenging side, but that's part of the pedigree of authenticity to the era. Unlike Action 52, the games aren't shoddily constructed. Be the judge of their final quality how you want, and watch the games unfold before you. Several of them even have hotseat multiplayer!
UFO 50 is an alternate history game about a society that built Utopia, and the surrounding mystery of how civilization fumbled it so hard. Where did UFO Soft go? Why were these seminal works unreleased, and left to gather dust in a forgotten warehouse? Like John Milton's 17th century epic poem Paradise Lost, UFO 50 is not just a singular work, but an arrangement of multiple masterpieces. This game chronicles a decade of UFO Soft spanning three console generations, starting with the humble Barbuta for the LX-1 to their magnum opus, Cyber Owls on the LX-III. Whether you start with the cautionary tale of Biblical Grimstone, the coming of age story in House Party or the aspirational goal of manifesting mankind's destiny among the stars in Campanella 2, there is something for everyone in this compilation of classics.
It will be the job of future scholars to debate the wisdom hidden between the lines of code within the Miasma Tower, but if UFO 50 is not put on GOG, it risks the same fate as the fictional UFO Soft.
Play Forever.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang.

Dead or AliveDead or Alive is a fighting game and the first entry in Team Ninja's long-running Dead or Alive series. Its most defining features were its speed and countering system. Dead or Alive put an emphasis on speed, and relied more on simplistic commands and reaction time. Furthermore, its countering system was the first in the fighting genre to utilize different commands that corresponded to each type of attack. There are two kinds of holds, an Offensive Hold (OH) and a Defensive Hold (DH). The latter are executed by holding back or forward on the directional pad along with the guard input to either force away or counter-damage an opponent. The Playstation port of the game was later backported for arcade and titled Dead or Alive++.Action
