This is a work in progress of games I think were ended way before they should have been. As I remember games I will add them to this list and if anyone else remembers a game that they also believe was ended to soon I would like to hear because theres probably a bunch of them.

I just remember, back in the 90's there were quite a few game series that I really got into but that disappeared almost right out of the gate. Most of the games were funny in ways that we only get taste of the humor now and not the whole thing. Another games have no equal today that I know of so when the series died so did that genre. There also is the group of games that was awesome, then they made a 1 or 2 bad games they we couldn't get into and wish they keep the old game then they discared the game. Lastly, there is the games they just don't seem like the games we got hooked on in the past; like as if changing the whole game will make it so we will still buy it based on the name.

There is no order to the list and it only involves games on consoles or PC because some games have been re-released for protable play numerous times or a new game in the series is released for a portable game system so this list is just about bring back games to regular consoles or computers.

Medievil

A funny game about a "knight" who is unable to talk and uses his arm as a weapon. Only 2 games were made and the last was in 2000.

Abes (Quests)

This was a funny game about an unknown creature that trys and save his friends from slavery while others are being turned into a special drink that the antagonists drink. It is very remenistent of Flashback, were you have to solve problems/puzzles to move along in the game. Only 3 games were made and I was unaware of the 3rd because of bad plublicity.

Flashback

Much like how Abe's exodus was played, this game is all about solving puzzles. Your a future guy who is being attacked by aliens and machines. Its all in 2d side scrolling with death awaiting you everwhere. There is 3 games that I am aware of: Flashback, Fade to Black, Out of this world and Heart of Darkness which I found out about well after I gave up on the game having a sequel. Fade to black is nothing like the others games in that its fps but its continues the store and has puzzles that are reminesent of the other games.

Strike games

This series did have quite a few games before it died out but I just wish it had stayed 2 or 3 more years because the games graphics were just getting really good. In the game you take command of a Helicopter (through most of the game, sometimes a Harrier, Commanchi, Apachi, Nighthawk, etc) and try to blow up tanks, SAT sites, people, and buildings while doing missions against political figures who were in the news around the time of the games release. The series lasted from 92-98: Desert strike, Urban Strike, Soviet Strike, Jungle Strike and Nuclear Strike. No games today let you control a vehicle like that; maybe there is an I just have not heard of it.

Twisted Metal

While having not truly disappeared, this falls in the catagory of being exclusive on just the PSP now; it use to be both on the PC and PS2 ( I prefered the PC version because of the multiplayer over lan). During this game you controlled cars or motorcycles and tried to distroy other cars until you were the only one left. This list of weapons was quite small but it didn't stop it from being very replayable. The back story of every character was also a good laugh. At the end of the game you would meet up with Calypso (the main boss) and he would grant you one wish; the wish would always backfire on the winner such as "I want to be the most famous person" and Calypso would have the persons body stretched in outer space where everyone could see him/her. After beating it with one person you would want to see every ending. The games went from 95-01 and I consider TW:Black the last in the series. There may be a new one on the way but until I see it this game stay here.

More to come

Games that almost never came back

Fallout

This is one of the best new games of the late 2000's. I never thought this game would be released. For the Fallout series this is right online with the greatness of the other games, while being completely different at the same time. It doesn't have the dark humor of the old games or the weirdness but it makes up for it in massiveness and beautiful graphics. The game takes place after a nuclear bomb war that sends humans underground for hundreds of years. Your an adventurer who can either be for good and try and save people or for bad and just be for yourself and never help out the people you meet along the way; this is one aspect that is much different than other games because most games force you to be good. Its a First person shooter that has a bit or RPG mixed in. The last game was released in 97 and the last was released in 05; but most of the people I know who love the series believe it was stopped in 98 after the releases of Fallout 2. The new game was released in 08.

Diablo: finding info

Starcraft

Next, I will list games I hope don't disappear and also games I believe should either be stopped or atleasted had a year or 2 in between releases (that means you Tigerwoods golf and Need for Speed)

I am wondering from the point of view of a owner of some privious Sega CD games. If any of you owned a Sega cd then you know that the games scratched easier than any other system known to man and it would be neat to be able to play those games again.

So, is it legal to download games you use to own but can't play anymore because they disc is ruined? Is it legal to download games you never owned because some games and system are not available even on ebay?

*If you believe this post is not appropriate to be posted on gamespot please let me know and I will delete it promptly. I just don't remember seeing it listed on the rules. I saw it said copyrighted Roms but I am not sure if all roms are copyrighted or even if any are.

I was in Gamestop today to buy the new Ratchet and Clank game and was talking to the clerk there about upcoming games and he told me how he wanted to get that game. Then we saw a Tony Hawk section and they have what looks like the hover board from Back to the Future 2. Its not the same colors or anything but it looks like it. Then we talked about the lego games and he said how he wanted a new Lego game to be about the Back to the future movies. I think that that would be an awesome game and the hover board is cool too.

I was playing a new PSN game and I noticed that if I beat the game there was no Platnium trophies that were offered. Anyone else notice that not all the trophies are being added to all the games. I don't have a problem with it because the developers can do what they want, its just it took me a little by surprise. Does anyone know if this has been going on a while.

First, I would like to just clarify something about being colorblind or color deficient as its sometimes called; being color blind doesn't mean you see in black and white or just shades of grey. Being colorblind, (which is about 1 in 12 men or 1 in 100+ women) is when you get shades mixed up, colors flipped, one color bleeds into another and they can't be told apart or you just have no idea what your seeing.

Imagine playing your favorite video game which happens to be a FPS (first person shooter) that takes place in the jungle. Now, your team's name is color coded primary blue which is simi easy to see in the dark green jungle; the enemies though are a nice dark color of red which makes since, since we usually assume that means evil and their armor is dark green and black. Now, the normal person would easily see that the enemy is clearly right in front of them and the moment they move they will be shot at. But, if you take someone who is colorblind and put them in the same spot, theres a good chance that they wouldn't see the name tag because the red bled into the tree color and their suits do the same; so the other team just happily walks right up to you slowly and kills you before you even saw them coming.

Example, you may see these as the nametag, armor and trees; people with red green blindness would see something like nametag, armor and trees.

FPS are not the only games where its a problem. I have noticed this in ever genre there is. In racing games, there is usually a line in the middle of the road that tells you when to speed up or slow down; we just can't see when it changes color gradually. In real time strategy games we can tell enemies from allies because light green looks like yellow and dark blue is purple. Every genre has its issues.

I bring this up because if you have played a game then you probably have seen this person before. I would even bet you laughed at them and didn't even realize this may have been the problem. For example, you were just standing there in the middle of the road next to a concrete slab in a game wearing similar clothing as the landscape when someone just ran by you and didn't even slow down. You followed them for a while then knifed the noob in the back where upon you and your friends busted up laughing, and rightly so. He/she didn't see anything other then the rather large concrete block in the road a few seconds before dieing.

I just felt this was a view that needed to be stated because there has been so many times where I'm called a noob over the mic in whatever game I was playing because of these reasons.

There's a bunch of ways this can be fixed to equal out the playing field. The easiest is just giving the player the options of what team gets what color. So, until this is fixed there is millions of people you play against that aren't noobs. I'm not complaining, I just want there to be an equal playing field in every game we play. Would you really feel good about your win if you knew you had an advantage over them before the game even started; I sure wouldn't.
