Next month, Microsoft will be turning 50, and that's made me wax nostalgic over the various Microsoft games that have come out leading up to this semicentennial celebration (you don't use that word every day).

During the last half-century, Microsoft has played a historical role not only in tech but within the more niche world of video game software.

I've taken time to list the top seven classic Microsoft games from the pre-Xbox era that have had the most impact. So, this won't include any games technically published by Xbox Game Studios, only titles published under Microsoft or Microsoft Games.

Let's see if you recognize all seven and let me know in the comments if you agree with my ranking.
7) Microsoft Adventure (1979)
6) Microsoft 3D Pinball: Space Cadet (1995)
5) Crimson Skies (2000)
4) Microsoft Flight Simulator (1982)
3) Microsoft Minesweeper (1990)
2) Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (1999)
1) Microsoft Solitaire (1995)
BONUS: Metal Gear Solid (2000)
