If I don't complete it as soon as possible, it ends up like this

No, but you're correct in the fact that it's a football game, and that it's on a Nintendo console.

As for yours, the only song I know involving tigers is Eye of the Tiger, so my best guess would be a Rocky game.

Hint 2: The good guys against the bad guys.

Soccer

• Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
• 1987
• Sports
• Nintendo

Perhaps this is a strange game to include in a list of the best games ever made, when today we live in a world where there are much, much more advanced football games out there. 'Soccer' does however hold a special place, as I played this with my cousin at our grandmother's house a lot when we were young. I don't play many games' multiplayer modes, but this was one of the lucky few.

It is a very simple game, almost like an Atari game. All you can do really, is run and kick the ball. It isn't fast, there's no tricks and the goalkeeper has no AI, but it is a lot of fun. Simple games often are, because they're so easy to pick up and play. There's no need for instructions, and there's no learning curve; it's just you, and the game.

Obviously the best thing about 'Soccer' is the little animation when it's half-time. I assume me and my cousin played this game mostly because of the joy you get from this little piece. Surprisingly, cheerleaders will come onto the field for a couple seconds and do a dance accompanied by cheerful music. This was funny to us, because in real life, this doesn't actually happen during football matches.

It was too bad they never made a second expansion to include the third episode.

Half-Life 2

Lol, that's what I get for making vague hints that can apply to everything. And it seems, after googling, that this was a recent thing even.

But no, sorry, it's not Half-Life 2...

Star Wars related maybe?

Yes.

The second of four Star Wars games I have this year. It's an older game (not as old as the ones I've had so far, still from this millenium), but this is the first time I've ever put it on the list.

Time for a write-up for the next three games on my list, and hints for the three after those.

Nier
Previous Year's Rank: 40

The original Nier was one of the most surprising games I had played up to that point in time, even after I had already played and liked Yoko Taro's previous two games, Drakengard 1 and 2. Nier also happened to be the continuation to one of Drakengard's five endings. While the gameplay in Nier isn't anything exceptional and the graphics do show the limits of the budget a bit, it is the excellent story and characters, and the wonderful music that truly makes it such a memorable experience. It's a flawed title, but one I absolutely love, and I couldn't be happier that this year we got Nier: Automata, and that it turned into a genuine success.

Mega Man 2
Previous Year's Ranks: 39

My second favourite game in the classic series, and one of the games I periodically return back to just for fun and to see how well I can still play the game. Mega Man, along with Mario, was the reason I originally, over 25 years ago grew so fond of 2D platformers. In many ways this is the game that is the most balanced out of the entire series (Metal Man's weapon excluded), featuring just the simple run-and-gun gameplay of the original polished to near perfection. Later games would add more tricks to Mega Man's book, but it could be argued that this is where the series was at its purest.

To the Moon
Previous Year's Rank: 38

In terms of pure storytelling, few games have done as exceptional job as To the Moon did it with its narrative and characters. Essentially disguising itself as a 16-bit RPG, the game quickly discards those notions and becomes something quite unique as a result. Following two scientists as they try to create false memories inside a dying man's mind, we get to know both the scientists as well as the man and his wife as the game dives deeper and deeper into the man's past. Throughout this it created one of the most effective narratives in video game history, which is why it finds its way onto this list. It's not any higher because the gameplay part of this game isn't all that engaging or interesting, with simple puzzles being the extent of the game's offerings on that front. It's all about story, and fortunately To the Moon delivers on that front.

Here's the hints for the next three games on my list.

#44:  The 16-bit debut of perhaps the most famous action-adventure video game series ever made. The subtitle of this game can have two meanings depending on how you choose to interpret one of the words in it.

#43: A first-person puzzle game, the second of its particular series. Considering the game's publisher, a third one will probably never be made.

#42: A robot works inside a massive clock-like contraption to fix time paradoxes while his friend travels around the galaxy looking for him.
