Following the first Blu-Play homebrew game release and 8-bit Memoirs eBook, the team behind Ukko's Journey is back: LuBlu Entertainment is creating their 2nd Blu-Play game these days, titled The UFO Game!
An Asteriod-like game
The UFO Game! is strongly inspired by a 38 year old game for the 2nd generation game console Philips Videopac G7000, named Satellite Attack. (The Philips Videopac G7000 was the european version of the Magnavox Odessey2 in the states, and the same game for the Odessey2 was called UFO!. In this article we'll use the names of the European model).
You can consider The UFO Game! to be a kind of modern version of Satellite Attack. At least that was the thought behind the project.
When looking at Satellite Attack (which you will in a minute), it is clear to see that it was heavily inspired by the even older game Asteroids, but as with all Videopac G7000 clones of various games, it adds a few twists and changes compared to the original game, often resulting in a very different gameplay, which you will either love or hate.
I could attempt to explain the gameplay of Satellite Attack here, but it would be much easier for everyone if you'd just watch this video from Classic Game Room instead.
For more videos and stories about Videopac G7000 games, you can check out 8-bit Memoirs.
As you can see in the video from Classic Game Room, the firing mechanism is somewhat out of the ordinary. And this is something you'll either find hilarious, or else utterly hate. The UFO Game! is obviously only for those who'll find it hilarious.
A dedicated Blu-Play game
While LuBlu's first Blu-Play game was just a port of an old JavaME cellphone game of theirs, (Ukko's Journey is actually 10 years old today), The UFO Game! can be categorized as a dedicated Blu-Play game: It is written specifically for the platform and therefor tailored to fit the characteristics of Blu-ray.
One example of this is the use of videos: The UFO Game! makes heavy use...
