In this week’s special episode Brian Bonnet and Dylan Muss join David to discuss the epic indie game UFO 50. Billed as a collection of 50 games from a fictional 80s video game company called UFO Soft, what the game turned out to be is an overwhelmingly quality compilation of retro styled games that feel modern and fresh, with a dark meta narrative surrounding it to boot. We gush on the game for nearly 100 minutes and give all the reasons you should check out this masterwork of indie gaming.
