MERCH!
Giant Bomb - a website about video games and the people that make them

Games that desperately need sequels, and will almost certainly not get them.

by foggen

Some of these games are obscure, made by developers that don't exist, while others exist in dead genres.  Many already have sequels, but the series have faltered.  This is my nostalgia pining for a future that will never come.

Rocket Jockey

I don't even know if Sega still owns the rights to Segasoft's business.

Police 911

2. Police 911

There was a PS2 version in development that never came out. Perhaps Sony's Move controller will bring it back?

Metal Storm

Gravity-flipping mechs. Hell yes.

Star Wars: TIE Fighter

4. Star Wars: TIE Fighter

Of course X-Wing, XvT, and X-Wing Alliance were in this series, but Tie Fighter was the best. The dark, dark campaign combined with highly technical space combat was amazing.

Gunblade NY

5. Gunblade NY

Light gun game where you're on a machine gun mounted on an attack helicopter. Word. The Wii version of this and L.A. Machineguns is proof that this game is not forgotten.

Joust

Ostrich cavalry!

Flashback

7. Flashback

Forget Fade to Black. I need another high precision adventure puzzle platforming shooting game.

Wizards & Warriors

8. Wizards & Warriors

A long dead series about a sproingy knight. The sequels were insanely hard, and thus less fun.

Double Dragon

9. Double Dragon

Double Dragon got run into the ground pretty badly. The original had a special, gritty feel that could be revived.

The Immortal

10. The Immortal

Punishing! Spectacular death! Puzzles! ISOMETRIC!
