EP1.5 - The UFO50 Game Awards

"The Game Awards really need to have a hype man."   In this weeks episode we celebrate the Game Awards for over 49 of UFO Soft titles. Using the well defined categories from Geoff Keighleys much smaller award show, we select winners for such awards as Best Ongoing Game, Most Anticipated Game, and Game of the Year using only the games from UFO50. We even create some categories of our own. What games could win Best Golf Game? More than you'd think!   Kyle - Cute Monster Props Jorge - JMV Edited By David Pinckney   Things discussed: Untiltled Fuimoto Ueda Game, Elden Ring Nightreign, Onimusha, Virtua Fighter, The Game Awards Brian Lords Presents: The UFO 50 Game Awards (0:08:00) Best Adaptation - Cyber Owls (0:9:55) LJN Best Accessibility - Camouflage (0:19:43) Community Support - Star Waspir (0:22:42) Player Choice - Party House (0:25:52) Best Debut Indie - Night Manor (0:32:55) Friday The 13th Best Ongoing Game - Pilot Quest (0:36:23) Cookie Clicker, The Legend of Zelda Best Audio - Minnie and Max (0:45:58) Super Metroid, Symphony of the Night, Goonies 2, 8 Eyes Best Action - Rakshasa (0:49:56) Contra, Ghouls and Ghosts Best Sim/Strategy - Avianos (0:53:57) Best AR/VR - Misasma Tower (0:59:51) Best Director - Jerry Smolki (1:08:44) Mad Max Fury Road, Aquaria, Humble Bundle (back when it was good), Derek Yu, Illusion of Gaia Best Art Direction - Mooncat  (1:20:21) Action 52 Most Anticipated Game - Party House the Board Game (1:28:41) Best Multiplayer - Bushido Ball (1:29:47) Windjammers, Smash TV, River City Randsom Best Sport/Racing - Big Bell Race (1:34:30) Astro Bot, Astros Playroom Best Golf Game - Pingolf (1:39:33) Golf (NES), Pinbot, Bride of Pinbot Best Family Game - Alfazars Hat (1:43:23) Pocky and Rocky, Diddy Kong Racing, Gimmick Best Fighting Game - Hyper Contender (1:47:14) Smash Bros Series, Bionic Commando Best RPG - Valbrace (1:52:02) Yakuza Like a Dragon, Dragon Quest, 2 Fantasy Star, Punch-Out!!, Dark Souls, Final Fantasy 1/3 Games for Impact - Porgy (1:57:40) Best Performance - The gut who goes "MISSION START" in Cyber Owls (2:00:01) Best Score and Music - Pilot Quest (2:01:00) Best Narrative - Mortol (2:03:39) Jake Steinberg - Gamers Don't Understand Story Best Mobile Game - Overbold (2:09:13) Smash TV Best Indie Game - Barbuta (2:12:58) Best Game I'll probably Play Next Year - Grimstone (2:18:37) Best Bell Game - Campenella 2 (2:19:08) Spelunky, Blaster Master Best Bird Game - Avianos (2:20:05) Best "Bad" Game - Combatants (2:21:56) Best Game We're Sad Didn't Win Anything - Rail Heist (2:25:15) Best  Game We Didn't Play but Have to Give and Award to Anyways - Divers (2:28:52) Biggies Cutie - Aplha (2:30:19) Most Faithful Throwback - Ninpek (2:32:34) Mappyland GAME OF THE YEAR - Party House (2:35:36) Corn Kids, Pac Land Question Zone: What is your Game of the Year?
