Ufo 50, a nice retro style game collection of 50 games in 1

Open

I came across this by accident, and really wasn't in the mood/planning to buy games, as i already just got FF16 which was expensive enough.
But being an (old) retro guy, this really intrigued me and seemed very unique, and while it may seem like shovelware minigames these are 50 full fledged games, thought some might enjoy this too. :)

Was this kind of collection not part of the original meaning of Shovelware?.
I can vividly remember when i bought some of this 50/100/150 game collections on a cartridge, Floppy Disk and CD-ROM and apart form the C64/C128 era they where hardly any fun games in it.
While they where fun in the same way as movie nights where you watch the worst movies with your friend on purpose this is nothing i would like to relive.
So this old fart will stay away from such things in the prersent day and let the younger ones discover this "new" experience. ;)

This project was pretty much a homage to those old "XX in 1" carts for the NES and the like, but the twist is that instead of quickly and carelessly churning out dozens of crappy games to fill up space each game was designed and developed in earnest, hence why it took them a few years to complete the game. They wanted to make a good collection of old games, except all the games are brand new and just styled as if they were from the late 80's or early 90's.

I am not familier wth the development history behind it.
I have just watched the trailer on steam and it sure did brought back the memories to the things i said above.
So you could say i was hit by negative nostalgia ;)
