It\u2019s the way that, for each of its 50 games, there are three different goals to strive for. The easiest is usually earning a game\u2019s \u201cgarden\u201d item, an object that then goes into a garden where a little mascot character lives, puttering around in their house and yard and interacting with all the different items you\u2019ve earned for them so far. Then comes earning a \u201cgold\u201d cart for the game, which typically happens when you beat it, and then there\u2019s the highest achievement, earning the \u201ccherry\u201d cart, which usually demands you not only beat a game but do so with particular mastery or aplomb. For an arcade-style game, it might mean earning a certain number of points on your way to its conclusion, for instance, while in an adventure game, it may require snagging a particular item en route to victory. With so many games to swap between and so many goals to strive for, I always feel like I\u2019m making progress toward <em>something<\/em>, even if some challenges still elude me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">In particular, this weekend I hope to make more progress in the dungeon-crawler <em>Valbrace<\/em> (I\u2019m currently on floor 4), complete some more stages in the innovative sacrificial platformer <em>Mortol<\/em>, snag the cherry cart for the wonderfully summery arcade shooter <em>Seaside Drive<\/em>, and maybe complete my second escape from the planet in the resource-harvesting <em>Zelda<\/em>-like game <em>Pilot Quest<\/em>. <em>\u00a0<\/em>An opening screen in <em>UFO 50 <\/em>shows the old machine for which these games were ostensibly released, captioned with the text, \u201cPLAY FOREVER.\u201d In the case of <em>UFO 50<\/em>, I think I just might.\u2014Carolyn Petit<\/p>\n<aside class=\"sc-1c7snby-0 gGJizi\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/kotaku-weekend-guide-zelda-metaphor-refantazio-ufo-50-1851659663\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mossmouthgames Play it on: PC Current goal: Get more stuff for the garden I have copies of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85135,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[159],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
