#45: Pretty much a ripoff of the first Metroid

Hint #1: Released on a computer first, but that's not the PC, which actually never got an official version of the game

This might be a bit of a long shot, but the original Castlevania? Think that was released on Amiga.

Nope, but the game released around the same time.

Also Amiga was a later port for Castlevania

Nah, the game I'm looking for is even older, and in 3D (though the units and monsters are all sprites)

Had already been said, and it's still wrong

Showing my age with this one but:

Magic Carpet

Finally!

I think I remember the sayings about Magic Carpet back in the day, that you need a high end computer to play it. Never played it myself though (I didn't have a high end computer).

Hint 2: Star.
Hint 3: Pak in Europe.

#46

#45
Hint 1: Big step down from the previous games, but it still makes my top 50. Today's game probably won't.

Duck Hunt?

Yes!

Bofferbrauer was almost there, he initially mentioned the dog but then chose another.

I've always loved Duck Hunt dog.  Also, in the arcade version you can shoot him.  Maybe that's why I love this character.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

49, 48 and 43 are all correct!

44 is wrong - it's not quite as old as Pong, but it's more iconic. (And no, it's not Pacman or Tetris either.)

I was a bit vague on purpose, as my past games were guessed way too fast. So no, not GoW.
