UFO 50 is a collection of 50 single and multiplayer games that span a variety of genres, from platformers and shoot 'em ups to puzzle games, roguelites, and RPGs. Our goal is to combine a familiar 8-bit aesthetic with new ideas and modern game design.

This month, we're collaborating with the [url=https://gamehistory.org/]Video Game History Foundation[/url] on a special UFO 50 art print, illustrated by Derek just for the occasion! All proceeds go to the VGHF and their awesome preservation work. You can find a link to purchase the print on their donation page:

That's not the only way to support the fundraiser, however! From that link you can do a direct donation, join their Patreon, or purchase other exclusive merchandise. Personally, I've been really enjoying their vintage video game magazine subscription, which sends a random old game mag to your mailbox each month.
For many years, the VGHF and its members have done a lot of great work, like saving (real life) lost games, preserving art and marketing materials at a high quality, and bringing to light game development stories that would otherwise fade away quietly. If you want to see what they got up to this year, check out their 2024 Year in Review:

Given UFO 50's themes and the fact that we were already fans of the VGHF... we were really excited to get the opportunity to work with them on this. Check it out!
