Remember those bootleg Game Boy cartridges you could buy from Spanish holiday destinations or the plug-and-play Atari knock-offs on shopping channels? The quality was rarely good – and they were highly illegal – but there was a novelty attached to accessing a mixture of games (good and bad) all in one place.
UFO 50 aims to capture that same spirit, with less lawyers and more noteworthy names. A collaboration between Spelunky’s Mossmouth and designers from the likes of Downwell, Time Barons, Skorpulac, and Madhouse, this is a compilation packing no less than 50 original, indie arcade games. And it looks amazing.
Utilising an enhanced 8-bit aesthetic, you’ll find everything from platformers to shmups to sports to beat-‘em-ups to… You get the drift. Each individual game has a different director, but the art and programming has been a collaborative effort. It’s not currently confirmed for the PlayStation 4, but Mossmouth has hinted that platforms beyond PC are possible, so make some noise if you want this.

Nostalgia lovers, take heed ...
This looks pretty cool!
Wow, I'll take this for PS4.
Glad this got some Push coverage; day one for me as well especially on PS4.
Older games are better in your head than on the tv, and more often than not unplayable and unenjoyable garbage especially 8 bit stuff. This could actually be the retro gaming goodness we deserve.
I would rather play this on Vita I think but if they don't do a Vita port, then PS4 it is
