Looks like more hints are in order

#50: Probably the best PC-exclusive fighting game there is.

1. Giants robots are duking it out
2. In the story mode, you can level up both your pilot and machine independently
3. There's a hyper mode that makes all the actions super-fast and combos possible that are otherwise totally impossible. Oh, and there are scrap moves that totally destroy the enemy robot.

#48: Looks a lot like Metroid, but isn't Metroid

1. Originally released on the venerable C64, though ports to other machines followed very quickly
2. The Original came out in 1990 and really pushed the C64 to it's limits. Apaprt from the gameplay, it's fondly remembered for it's soundtrack.
3. After the success of the C64 and Amiga versions, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and Atari ST followed quickly afterwards in 1990, until it arrived also on the Megadrive/Genesis until it finally released on the PC Engine/Turbografx and the Gameboy in 1991.

#46: Ever wanted to shoot your console? In this game, you can in the final level.

1. A Sega game where you can meet characters like Sonic, Alex Kidd or Samba de Amigo
2. The game id for the most part a simulation with RPG combat, though instead of actually fighting you insult or encourage the enemies you encounter in dungeons.
3. Your job in this game? Lead a video game company to dominate the market with great games and a great console, and defeat the rival company.

#43: Lead your people from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

1. Unlike Civilization, this God Game is in real time

#47 (Yeah I forgot that one initially, sorry): A PC pinball game with 3 tables and a horror movie level design

#42: A pirate adventure game where you're out to find Big Whoop.
