I recently got UFO50 after initially not thinking it is for me, but hearing about it in Grogpod got me interested. I was born 1990 so games from the 80s really have more of a relic character for me, but it is still really good! I got it on switch because I saw many of the games have a multiplayer mode and that is fun, too!

Some games from it I enjoyed so far:

Porgi: submarine metroidvania where you need to collect fuel upgrades to dive/explore deeper and deeper
Party House: roguelike deck builder / boardgame; bit like Dominion and fun game for wife and me but also fun alone
Devilition: puzzle game
Avianos: Turn based strategy / boardgame
Rock on Island: Bloons style TD
Magic Garden: snake like arcade game
Golfaria: Golf 2d isometric metroidvania / zeldalike
Onion delivery: 2d car driving kinda roguelike... reminds me a bit of GTA 2... hard as a brick though
