47. Super Smash Bros. Melee
Once got snowed in during my college years for 3 days. My buddies and I saw this as an opportunity and unlocked everything in Melee like we were freelancing a guide. I've never eaten more doughnuts in my life

48. Metroid Prime
I used to get horrible motion sickness playing 1st person games, but I suffered through it to enjoy this one. After moving to a new city, this was an early roommate bonding experience (def a coincidence that this is coming up today)

There is some goodwill in the tournament scene for how the game finally ended up, but yes. A little more time in the oven would have solved a lot of problems

50. Saiyuki: The Journey West
This game had so much going for it, but it is an absolute drag to play. Whenever I peak over at my PS1 games, I see it and get the urge to play it and then remember that one battle will take 14 hours. Fix this game, modders

51. Street Fighter X Tekken
This is a tough one. I hate the aesthetic, but still love what Capcom did with the Tekken cast. I hate the gems (as do we all), but love how Capcom evolved the game to be competitive without them. I hated playing it, but now I miss playing it

52. Strider NES
The older I got, the more I realized that this isn't a good game, but still. There's a cool factor to this that other games of its era lacked

54. Street Fighter Alpha 2
I like this game for one thing only: trying to get conversational dialog between characters during arcade mode. Ultimately, this is stupid because it's so hard to do for so little payoff. In practice, it's what your teenage years are made for
