#40 still isn't ringing a bell (admittedly tho I probably need more education in the ways of the arcade)
#41... EDIT: It's unfair to guess multiple games at once, so I'm gonna say... is it Pirates/Pirates Gold or something in that lineage?

People are probably more familiar with the console version of #40, but the arcade version is notorious for one of my (just slightly cryptic) clues.
#41 is one that you would probably have to be pretty familiar with the game to guess, though EVERYONE is familiar with the characters.

About the only thing I can think of even close for #40 is Rampage.
RPGs: Proof that one you start done the dork path, forever will it dominate your wallet's destiny.
Not rampage. You could say that these 2 games each have something different in common with one of the previous games I picked...after a fashion.

I guess no one is playing this anymore. Instead of leaving them unsolved, I'll add a few extra details to the clues...
#40 - If you're traveling to the USA, you can't just visit New York City. You should visit places all over the country, such as Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. And what's that button up there for? Time to swing into action! What? Game Over? Talk about a buzz kill!
#41 - Maybe lighting the match will help. Nope. I hope we don't need that later because it seems to be the only one in all of London. Hey look, a rowboat. Aaaannnnddd, we've drifted out to sea again! I thought you were supposed to be brilliant, but putting me in charge was about the stupidest thing you could have done.

#42 - Downloadable title demonstrates the dangers of overeating, the wisdom of taking everything one step at a time, the difficult plight of the color-blind, and the truth of the proverb "You can't take it with you".
I'm tempted to say The Crooked Man but nobody in that game has an overeating issue.
Is it an RPG Maker game?
.... also, sorry I basically dropped out of sight here and elsewhere. I basically just got bored of the internet, and there had been constant thunderstorms as well. I wound up playing a lot of Civilization II, conquering the world as the Romans and thanking my lucky stars that at no point was I opposed by a small village of plucky Gauls with magic potions. That's not an entry in this guessing game but feel free to point out the reference if you like.
I am however starting to think that the clues are getting a bit too obscure though, but I'm not sure what rule or guideline to put in place to change the course that wouldn't make the game entirely pointless. The only thing I can think of is a lot of clues seem to be focusing on very minute portions of a game rather than major elements, which can easily be misleading. But even then its hard to think of a guideline that couldn't potentially be contradictory or self-defeating.
Just a shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess Garfield: The Lost Levels
...though I can't see how that fits all the clues.

Ah, got it...not Sega Channel but Sega Meganet
Fatal Labyrinth
