49. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (PC): Finally getting the blasted Babel Fish to land in your ear properly amid a flurry of junk mail and other debris.
48. Baby Pac-Man (Arcade): Discovering that this pinball/arcade game let you send the titular chomping yellow pie piece down a tunnel that released you to a half-table game of pinball. Perhaps most notable for its inexplicable lack of power pellets.
47. Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (PC): Walking out of the bathroom with toilet paper on your shoe in this masterpiece of crude humor and soft-core debauchery, from the days when there was no ratings system and sixteen color EGA graphics were state-of-the-art.
46. Castlevania: Dracula X (PC Engine Duo): Only available in Japan, this was the first CD-based Castlevania game. The musical score was something so brilliant and beautiful, but only a lucky few, namely the Japanese, were able to experience it.
45. Devil's Crush (TurboGrafx): Feeling the hair on the back of your neck stood up the moment the hard-rock music score kicked-in.
44. Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts (SNES): Reaching the last stage of the game for the first time, only to be told that you had to go all the way back to the beginning and find a magic bracelet.
