Comment on The Plucky Squire Should Have More Faith In Its Players

I’m currently playing UFO 50, which is a game by Derek Yu and friends. The games are “fake” 1980s NES games. You pick a random game of ot be 50 and there’s little to no instructions on how to play any of the games.

You just press start and see where it takes you, just like classic games.

There’s a lot of joy in discovery.

Gotta agree on UFO 50. It’s an absolutely stellar game. I’ve mostly dropped plucky squire in favor of it, although I do want to at least finish it

I mean most classic games had instructions on how to play the game in the manual.

Is that a modern take on Action 52?

  More or less. It’s like action 52 but good.
  
  It also has a whole fake narrative tied to it. The collection is 50 games released by the company “UFO Soft,” a fake game company. Each game has little blurbs on its history. Some games have multiple entries to their series, some are one off. Others are “spiritual successors” to others. It’s a whole little universe in the game. And even though not every game so far has been for me, they are all at the least creative and interesting. And some games I absolutely adore and want to play through to the end asap. I’ve only just touched the 25th game and have ~ 15 hours. And I know some will take me a long time. There are also secrets to find outside of the 50 games. The menu has a terminal and you can find hidden codes that give God modes to games, and some provide hidden lore of the universe this game company exists in
