now there's a paradox. Harvest Plant FUN? Those games are about as fun as watching a root canal being done on a chimp (and I've seen bit's of it, it don't look pretty)

there is the new super mario bros, the pokemon thing i love every game up until the crystal one. i had all of them until my 7 year old brother decided that he liked pokemon and sold all of them for $15 (IN ALL!) to a friend. he went and bought some pokemon cards with it.

Starcraft

Ghost doesnt count :wink:

also Command & Conquer but i heard the making C&C 3 for 2007 so i suppose that rules that out

P.S Command and Conquer is different from Red Alert so technically a new one hasnt been made since Tiberium sun

Personally I'm not missing any games really because the only series I like is still being continued(Final Fantasy anybody?)
There were 7 of them. Three in the Vorticon series, three in the Good Bye Galaxy series, and there was the extra "Keen Dreams" episode. Plus all the homebrew games that other people have made. 8)

But yeah, CK is way fun! Can't actually say I played it a very long time ago, unless a week ago counts. :P

Actually, Sky wrote that one.

As for Keen, I only played the first Goodbye Galaxy game and loved it, although it was tricky when I was 5 or 6 when I played it last at my Grandparent's house. And I CAN'T believe more of you haven't said Chrono Trigger!?!?!?!?!

Another for the list: Soul Blazer Saga.

I second that!

And Spyro the Dragon, pretty much same case as Crash.

Universal did Crash Bash, right? That one wasn't bad. Not great, but not bad either.

No, Naughty Dog did Crash Bash to try and compete with Mario Party. That was the stumble that encouraged ND to sell Crash and do something new for the next generation (Jak & Daxter! Whee!).

Wait; I just booted up my old copy of Crash Bash, and it said "A Universal Interactive Studios Production". I didn't see Naughty Dog...

Well, the series I miss the MOST...would be Duke Nukem for some reason. But to be actually honest...Killer Instinct. The first game I've ever playn, and I haven't heard from it since KI: Gold...which evidently sucked :wink:

Lucas Arts not Star Wars games, though those are good.
