Also, one of my brothers gave me UFO 50 as a birthday gift:

...it is not a strategy game, but if you do not love UFO 50, you do not love
games.

 
Strange, I do not love "UFO 50" but I do love video games. I must be a
some sort of paradox. I'd better off myself before I destroy the
universe. It's such a bother when that happens; I don't want to have
to go through it again. ;-)
 
But seriously, 8-bit style games do nothing for me. More so if they're
themeatically based on console titles. My formative computer gaming
years were spent with flight-sims, RPGs, adventure and strategy games;
platformers, shooters and sports titles were never my that important
to me. And I've embraced the increased complexity that each generation
of tech has allowed games. I've no desire to go back to such simple
fare as passed for entertainment in the early 80s. "UFO 50" does not
scratch any itch for me. Even the few games in the collection that
matched up to my gaming in that era aren't going to do it for me; I'd
much rather play a modern version of those games and not some
throwback.
 
I do not like "UFO 50". It's got nothing I want from a game... or even
50 games.

 
To each their own!
 
Did you play Seaside Drive? Cyber Owls?
 
Okay, just checking. :)

 
 
Seaside Drive is one of my favorites, but man Golfaria and Party House
are like the two best. I didn't like Cyber Owls.
