The games industry may thrive on franchises, but for every mega-popular sequel there's bound to be ten utter failures. Most of these botched follow-ups flounder and die because they're poor games, but would people believe there are (gasp) totally decent sequels that came and went without so much as a pat on the back?
Countless sequels have been forgotten, but these are the games that, for one reason or the other, failed to stay in gamers hearts and minds.

I remember playing that game over and over again when it first came out.

Why is Guitar Hero Rocks the 80's on the list? It was forgotten because it was a full-price game with only half the content.
And they missed the obvious reasons for the Dragon Warrior (Quest) sequels. They were too fricken expensive. At $75-$100 carts, my mom refused to buy them for me.
I hope that they'll live again on the VC.
