UFO 50 is a retro throw-back collection of fifty games made by fictional company UFO Soft. It is one of the most interesting, fun, in-depth video game experiences out there.
Piph has been trying to get anyone in the world to play this game for over a year just so he can talk about it, and after literal months of playtime Jello is ready to chat with him. For 8 hours.
