UFO 50: A low-res, high-concept anthology of imaginary retro games
Briefly

UFO 50 is a jumbo variety pack of complete video games, each with its own title, genre and story. They're not minigames. Every game could exist as a full release on some 80s console or computer.
The conceit that ties the collection together is that all these games came from one mysterious (and fictional) 80s video game company, UFO Soft, which developed the entire catalogue for an equally fictional games console.
Some genres in the mix simply didn't exist in the 80s, such as roguelike platformers and tower defence games, while classic genres bring new mechanics to their retro roots.
Take Mini & Max, for example. It looks like a regular platformer, but you can shrink or grow yourself anywhere to explore the world. You might find an entire microscopic city on an otherwise unassuming tile of dirt.
