When you have completed a game what happens? It is put to the back of your game pile untill you dig it out again when you are finished with your newer game.
As even newer games come out, you buy them and your game pile grows and grows. So what happens next? Do you sell off your olds games or throw them away. The number of games you go through in five years is unreal. At this rate computer companies will just keep making the same type of game over and over so what happens next?
Gamers will stop buying the games which causes a problem for game companies. So what is the sollution? I think the answer lies in sequels, yes sequels. It worked for TOMB RAIDER they keep making newer versions and we keep buying them. So will they make sequels to your old games so we keep buying their product or do you stop playing your computer (unlikely) so i leave the question to you.......

Tony lifts back his head and laughs an evil laugh while the lightning illuminates his silluette..

I like this idea.

Bring back 'Hi-Score'!!!
Remember playing Space Invaders in the arcades back in the 80s? What was the whole point? One thing and one thing only, to see the following...
HI_SCORE
1. FM_ 1.002.554
2. AAA 1.002.553
3. MAC 999.112
4. ZOD 999.111
5. BBB 285.984
Yes, to get your name at the top of that Hi-score list, you'd play for hours, and hours, then come back the next day, after they'd reset it all, and try again. That was what I was like anyway.
Now imagine you're playing, say Mario Kart on the Gamecube, and you clock up an impressive laptime. So you connect up via a 56k modem, hook up to the 'CubeArena Site', and see the following:
WORLD HI_SCORE
1. Grix_Thraves 1' 56.083"
2. Meka_Dragon 1' 56.084"
3. er-no 1' 56.0942
4. ...
and so on, for a top 500 say. Then you could also flick a button and see the top UK scores, or by region and so on.
Wouldn't that add some longevity to your existing games again? We can already do this with the Dreamcast, which means it's very hard to get rid of an old game that has online capabilities, because you know that sometime someone is going to beat your score, so you hold onto it just in case.
With the PS2, Gamecube and X-Box all being online, Hi-Scores are going to come back big time.

Put in a multiplayer and games can last forever!
I've got 2 brothers and the likes of Smash Bros, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and WWF No Mercy have lasted ages thanks to a great multiplayer.
Also, because we're all more or less evenly matched, the game stays fun and challenging and as a result I keep getting better and better.
My brothers refuse to help me buy a Dreamcast because it doesn't come with 3 extra pads!
That is how great multiplayer is!

Make sure you collect all 40 (I think) of the gems? or something.
You'll get the last one on the way to fact the final boss, instead go back to the previous town, and when you go to see the guy who asks for the gems, you'll be taken to an extra level.

A game the I have liked, I have have never placed it into storage, it goes onto my must play again file, this is normally for the SNES and NES, the last two days I have found myself trying to complete Mario World in record time. This was at 3:00am till 5:00am.
These classics I will always want to play again and when I have time I will, personally when the GBASNESthingymebob is released I will never put the GBA down, the first game I have in the pile on the SNES to complete next is 'Illusion of Time'
