The developer and publisher credit for UFO 50 is Mossmouth, the pseudonym-slash-studio-name of Derek Yu, the indie dev best known for the incredible roguelike platformer Spelunky. On this project, Yu is also working with other respected indie devs like Jon Perry, Eirik Suhrke, Paul Hubans, Tyriq Plummer, and Ojiro Fumoto.

That’s the perfect team to take on a project of this scope. As the name implies, this is a collection of 50 games, and theSteam pageproudly declares that “these are NOT minigames or microgames,” but rather full experiences similar in scope to the NES classics that inspired them. There are arcade racing games, roguelike platformers, and even a full-on classic JRPG experience. Half the collection features local multiplayer in one form or another, including everything from traditional co-op experiences to a goofball golf-based party game.
