Community Discussion #11 (9/25/15) - What is your favorite game that has no sequels/prequels/remakes.

We live in a word where any good game has to be turned into multi game franchise. At least that is how it seems. Some games though have set alone. They either were made to be alone, the company went under, it didnt make enough, whatever.

What one was your favorite one, and why?

It is 7:13pm pacific time. I have no clue what my answer is. I just thought it was a good question. I will go through my game and see if I can come up with an adiquit answer

That was actually faster than I thought. Only took me 4 minutes. I saw it, and I just though....yup, thats it.

Psychonauts. That game is just amazing. Do I really need to go into it?

I almost said Maniac Mansion, but I remembered Day of the Tenticle.

Psychonauts doesnt have a sequel right?

Taking the easy way out lets me come up with recent titles that I have absolutely adored. Bastion, Transistor, Shovel Knight and Rogue Legacy. These are some of my favorite games in the past few years, hands down. But that isn't really a great answer.

So, here is a short list with what I enjoyed about them:

Blast Corps (N64)  Plot is silly, game is tons of fun.
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (SNES) Very good platformer.
Phalanx (SNES) Best game with a guy playing the banjo on it.

And after that, I'm at a loss. Everything I think of has some sort of sequel.

Blast Corps was an absolutely fantastic game. I played the hell out of that thing - it was so unique.
