[quote name='Roufuss']Tetris had a sequel though... in fact, it had a ton of sequels and spinoffs, if you count the many iterations of Tetris over the years.
I'd call Tetris a franchise.[/QUOTE]
None matter, all they do is ruin the simplicty of the game. If you mean variations of the game (columns, puyo pop, Meteos) sure I'll buy that, but most games with Tetris in the title after the first have sucked.
The New Tetris
Tetris+
Tetris 4D
Tetris 3D
Tetris Worlds...
None of those games are rememebered; only the original.
Anyway my favorite Games of All time:
Rampage - Destruction is cool, so are monsters. Both together with multiplayer is bliss.
Total Carnage- Shooting Nirvana for two people.
Super Mario World - Imitated many times, topped by none.
BangAIO - My fav. game of all time. Shooting+destruction=the reason I kepp my Dreamcast.
