I'm a bit late to the party, so here's my first entries:

50: Probably the best PC-exclusive beat'em up

49: One of the earliest RTS games and one who massively popularized the genre

48: No transformations in this entry of the series despite it being a series staple

47: This early 3D PC game is mostly an ego-shooter, but also an adventure game and has some strategy mixed into it.

#49: However we see it multiple games could fit here (Herzog Zwei, Dune, Dune 2, Warcraft), but somehow I believe it is Command&Conquer.

It's a bit later than those, though you mentioned the right series.

Wanted to say Dune, but Mnementh beat me to it. Though did he? If it's not C&C I'm claiming Dune.

You claim wrong

Also, for both of you, the first Dune wasn't an RTS, and couldn't be one (time advances in ticks of one hour instead of real-time).
