Yes! 49 is Missile Command.

There's something relaxing about extremely simple games like this. Haven't played it in years, but in my old house I had every system I own hooked up to an old TV in my bedroom and I permanently had the Missile Command cartridge in my Atari just to play a couple rounds before sleep.

#50: The main protagonist fights really well considering he should see a thing for the first few hours of the game.

Hey, these games were the hot shit. Back in my youth a 1000 years ago in the stone ages.

Correct. Great game. Been meaning to revisit it for a little while.

50 - Probably the most out-of-left-field one on my list and the only game I'd argue is 'bad'. Dinosaurs and vore. Also it has an arcade version that's trash. 
- Not pirates, but ninja!
49 - Mega Man X4 - PS1
- Salnax
48 - IT's a weird game that straddles the line between being grounded and so serious it makes you cry being kind of absurd and outlandish, especially in its DLC.
- Bigfoot and horse fuckers on one side, one of the most devastating and tragic ends on the other, one made worse by the events of its sequel.
47 - New Super Mario Bros U/Deluxe - WiiU/Switch
- Kakadu
46 - The Messenger - Switch/PS4
- Kenjab

I have no actual idea, but maybe Deadly Premonition?

Naw, it's legitimately one of the most critically hailed games of all time.

Well, since nobody's managed to guess it and I don't want to fall too far behind on this, the game's Grandia II.

Might be either completely off the mark or genius; Red Dead Redemption (I never played enough of it to know about Bigfeet or tragic endings, but the various hints makes me think RDR)?

Breakout is one the early years' most well-known games. Right next to things like Pac-Man, Asteroids and Space Invaders. Back in the day, games like that would get hundreds of clones, and Nintendo made one of them; Alleyway. It's a simple game, and has a few extra features over the original, but the concept is the same.  When I was a kid, I had a GameBoy that I always took with me on our three week family vacation to southern France, a type of vacation that every self-respecting Dutch family apparently has to do. Some, well, probably most, families do this every year for as much as two decades, but we got bored of it after three of those trips. Anyway, I took my GameBoy, a transparent one, with me and I had a couple games for it. Donkey Kong Land, which was too difficult for me, some Daffy Duck game which was fine I guess, Tennis, which was fun but I got frustrated too much, and Alleyway. Alleyway was just right, and while I was supposed to sit on a beach, I just played this game until the batteries ran out.

Another one of those classics is Missile Command. While this game from before my time, I do have a history with this game. In the early days of computers, and we got our first home computer, there were plenty of CD's out there that came with magazines and whatnot, and they often included some small and obscure games. It was the way indies distributed their stuff back then. A lot of those indie games were clones of well known arcade games, or at least, I never knew of the originals. I took a particular liking to a clone of Missile Command, that had nice sprites for each city on the ground that resembled real cities around the world. Particularly memorable about that however was, when you went 'game over', a sound clip played that screamed "Game Over Man, Game Over!" at you. I would later find out that this was taken from the movie Aliens. Much later, I started re-buying certain games that were in my family at one point in the past and also some things we never had. One of those things was the Atari 2600, and I found that the original Missile Command, is just as fun if not even more than the clone.
