Top 10 big games that disappeared

Sometimes your video game celebrity just doesn’t hold up. Whether the series was good or bad these just disappeared into oblivion. While many of these classics return on the Wii’s Virtual Console, new sequels to them seem very unlikely.

Here’s the full list: 10. Bubsy 1 & 2 (1993 & 1994); 9. Ecco the Dolphin 1 & 2 & Defender of the Future (1993, 1994, 2002); 8. Vectorman (1995, 1996); 7. Adventure Island 1 to 7 (1986 to 1995); 6. Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (1989); 5. The Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES & N64 (1992 to 1998); 4. Wizards & Warriors 1 to 3 (1987, 1989, 1992); 3. Blaster Master 1 & 2 (1988 & 1993); 2. Chrono Trigger & Chrono Cross (1995 & 2000); 1. ActRaiser 1 & 2 (1991 & 1993).

Perhaps for their number one pick Screwattack should get their fix in the similarly-themed Enix/Quintet games referred to by fans as the Soul Blazer trilogy: Soul Blazer (1992), Illusion of Gaia (1994), and Terranigma (1996).
