Development[edit]

Influences[edit]

UFO 50 was inspired by unlicensed bootleg game compilation cartridges for 8-bit consoles that were common during the 80s and 90s, like Action 52.

Reception[edit]

An early version of UFO 50 was showcased during 2017's Pax West game convention, where it received widespread praise.[3]

UFO 50 was showcased again during Pax West 2018, where it again received praise.[4]
