Games and series that never pass away.
Okay, well, games and series that don't completely pass away.

Yeah, so it's that time of year, right? Holiday seasons, yessir! So, anyway, as a mid-gen gamer (gameplay frequency = moderate), I was just playing classic Dreamcast games with my best friends. I thought to myself about why the games never died out. I found out that there are aspects in certain games that keep the game fresh for various reasons:
  • Multiplayer/Online competition: as long as there are new/many people to play, you may find yourself enjoying the game @ age 70. Competition is never boring. Examples: SSB series, Halo (but I almost never play it), some of the MarioParty games (almost never play those unless I'm with kids), Power Stone 1/2, MarioKart
  • Large character selection (Mortal Kombat)
  • Multiplayer Co-op (Street Fighter Alpha 3! 2-on-1? Hell yeah!)
  • Random outcome
  • Decent controls requiring marginal skill (Street Fighter series, anything like it such as the Capcom or SNK series)
  • Balanced luck
  • Emotional Depth (Castlevania series, Chrono Trigger)
  • Incredible stories (SA2B, Chrono Trigger again, lol)
  • Strong suitability to one's mood (anything good)
Guess that's it, unless anyone else would like to post more preferences and reasons.

Seriously, Sonic is supposed to be played with the same mentality of watching porn.

You don't do it for the story.

HAHAHA! Well, I just thought that Shadow's appearance/history was badass, but apart from that, hell no.

Yeah, the voices were less-than-par... I liked the emotional gameplay (Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow)

Would Animal Crossing count? It's not really ever supposed to end.
