A beautiful love-letter to what makes gaming so unique. 50 various retro-stylized games that could've been its own thing entirely, everything clearly has love poured into it. Absolutely deserving of GOG status so you can truly 'Play Forever'.
It's literally a game about good old games. How is this not on GOG already??
I have not played it my self yet, I hope to do that with a future GOG release. But I've watched & listened to hours of people praising this game as one of the best of 2024. And I can't stop listening to the almost 7-hour-long!! 8-bit soundtrack goodness these games come with. This project truly is an incredible achievement.
There's literally 50 games here, you're sure to find a favorite among them.
UFO 50 is the chronicle of a fictional console that was thought to be lost, until you the player find it one day. The games do often veer into the challenging side, but that's part of the pedigree of authenticity to the era. Unlike Action 52, the games aren't shoddily constructed. Be the judge of their final quality how you want, and watch the games unfold before you. Several of them even have hotseat multiplayer!
UFO 50 is an alternate history game about a society that built Utopia, and the surrounding mystery of how civilization fumbled it so hard. Where did UFO Soft go? Why were these seminal works unreleased, and left to gather dust in a forgotten warehouse? Like John Milton's 17th century epic poem Paradise Lost, UFO 50 is not just a singular work, but an arrangement of multiple masterpieces. This game chronicles a decade of UFO Soft spanning three console generations, starting with the humble Barbuta for the LX-1 to their magnum opus, Cyber Owls on the LX-III. Whether you start with the cautionary tale of Biblical Grimstone, the coming of age story in House Party or the aspirational goal of manifesting mankind's destiny among the stars in Campanella 2, there is something for everyone in this compilation of classics.
It will be the job of future scholars to debate the wisdom hidden between the lines of code within the Miasma Tower, but if UFO 50 is not put on GOG, it risks the same fate as the fictional UFO Soft.
Play Forever.

Ratchet: DeadlockedRatchet: Deadlocked is the fourth game in the Ratchet & Clank series by Insomniac Games. Deadlocked is different in its counterparts in that it focuses more on shooting than platforming and puzzle elements. The game allows you to use two bots to fight along side you, which can be upgraded over time with better weapons and firepower.
There are 10 total weapons in the game, significantly less than the other games. However, modding these weapons is more emphasized than before, with different kinds of Alpha and Omega mods. Omega mods can be used on any weapon, and range from the freeze mod to the magma mod. Alpha mods are weapon-specific, and increase the rate of fire, ammo capacity, and power. The game also features online multiplayer.
Clank is not a playable character in this game, although he gives advice to Ratchet over his communication link.Action Comedy Science fiction

JumpStart Kindergarten ReadingJumpStart Kindergarten Reading is an educational title aimed at four to seven year olds.
The game features a Rabbit called Hopsalot. He's on holiday from school and wants to find the treasure buried in his carrot patch. He has six relatives each of which has a clue so, with the help of the pupil, off he goes. Each visit is in two parts, for example visiting Granny in the frozen north starts with a request to click on all the items beginning with a specific letter to defrost them. There's usually around half a dozen items on the ground of which four match the specified criteria. Once this task has been completed the pupil goes to an ice hockey practice session. Here a letter is shown on the scoreboard and hockey pucks with three and four letter words are slid over the ice. If the initial letter of the word matches the target letter the pupil clicks on the puck and, if they're right, it's fired into the net. If the initial letter does not match the target letter they click on the referee and the puck melts away. After completing the mini games the player is shown a clue to the carrot patch treasure, this specifies a letter. The player is then taken to the carrot patch where they must identify the letter from those shown, they click on it, a tunnel is dug to that spot where there will be an object and a small animation. Different games stress different reading elements. Alfie the Jazz Hamster asks the pupil to choose words that rhyme, Grandad gets the pupil to match upper and lower case letters, Flash asks the pupil to spell/complete words that come from a volcano while Robbie at the ranch expects pupils to decide whether a word is real of not.Educational Kids
