A few hints for the first few on my list.

50. This platformer, part of a longrunning series, is the second of an informal trilogy. It also included some minigames, which were later turned into standalone titles.

49. This is the video game adaptation of a card adaptation of a video game, released for the Game Boy Color. It has a sequel, but it was never brought outside of Japan.

48. This Japanese DS game is an RPG that lets you collect and grow monsters. It has nothing to do with Pokemon, being part of another long-running franchise.

47. One of the oldest games on this list, this Nintendo classic all but requires a guide for newtime players.

46. An odd sort of on rails shooter, released around the turn of the century. In typical Nintendo fashion, there is minimal violence.

48 Is DragonQuest Monsters Joker.

Some hints for my upcoming games:

#49: This multiplatform title from a hungarian developer I played on my WiiU.
#48: Once there was a great gaming series that dominated a specific genre of gaming. The company doing the series was associated with this genre. But then videogaming changed - with the introduction of graphics. My game 48 is an attempt to revive the series in this new environment.
#47: A young ingenious developer invented this gaming series and redefined the genre. The installment I chose for the list is on Wii.
#46: This DOS-game took 3D-gaming serious. Seriously, you could rotate and move at all three axis. That made orientation sometimes difficult and the automap looked... interesting. The packed-in level-creator lead to the circulation of some very interesting fan-made levels.
#45: The rogue-like that made rogue-likes popular. I include in this place the most popular... let's say mod.

#48 Ultima 6?

#46 Descent?

#45 Nethack?

Wow, two of three right! That probably means you're as old as I, as the only game you didn't try is the newer one (OK, the hint was kinda obscure too). Descent is correct, and nethack too, although I put it together with Slashem, which is kinda a game of the year edition of nethack.

But Ultima is wrong. I realize, yes that's another old series that had tries to revive it.

So some additional hints:

#49: In this game Marvel Heroes meet the Walking Dead.

#48: You're eaten by a Grue.

Pokémon TCG! It's also on my list somewhere.

Yeah I am an old timer (at least compared to most of the posters here).  I've never played Nethack, but I have fond memories of Descent.  It almost made my list.

#49 is The Walking Dead?
#48 is Zork, or some remastered version of Zork

I got nothin' for #47

#49 is an arcade game that uses a trackball and was co-developed by a female at a time when there were almost no females in the game industry.

 


No one has gotten my #49 so here is another clue:

The enemies are all bugs.

You're on the right track, wrong platform.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

49 - Pokemon Trading Card Game

48 - Dragon Quest Monsters

46 - Pokemon Snap

#49 and #46 are correct, but Dragon Quest Monsters is nowhere on my list.



Love and tolerate.
