I figured I'd start a little diary for my UFO 50 playthrough, which I'm now four streams into. I've been streaming it on my twitch channel the last couple of weeks after receiving it as a gift from a friend, and I've been enjoying the hell out of it - each game so far has been really fun and I'm eager at this point to play through every single one of them. So, I think a playthrough topic is in order.
I was interested in this game when I first heard of it, because I love NES-era gaming (see: my topic about my favorite 100 NES games), I love this style of game, and I'm pretty broad in my tastes and good at a wide variety of stuff, so nothing in this compilation is likely to turn me COMPLETELY off. Therefore, I decided I'd play through the games chronologically and really try to give every single one of them a fair shot before moving on - I won't force myself to beat each game before moving on but I will give each game a truly earnest chance before setting them aside, as opposed to just jumping into one for two minutes and then quitting out and trying another. Each of these games have pretty cryptic gameplay mechanics that they don't explain right away, and the scope of a game isn't apparent at the start of play, so I want to make sure I'm really giving it a fair shake.
