It had a film adaptation, several mangas, and its first sequel was a huge hit. However, Square eventually lost the license for the title and let eleven years pass until the long-awaited third part.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3rd Birthday was only a sequel to Parasite Eve because it shared the protagonist, but the gameplay (now a third-person shooter) and the story didn&#8217;t resemble what we knew. It&#8217;s true that it was just a game for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/tendremos-una-version-portable-de-la-playstation-6-los-rumores-apuntan-a-una-nueva-psp\" title=\"\">PSP<\/a>, but it was disappointing for the vast majority of the saga&#8217;s fans. So much so that <strong>since 2010 they haven&#8217;t dared to bring Aya back to life<\/strong>. Although in the midst of the revival fever, who knows, hey, the future is yet to be written&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5-Tetris 2<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tetris 2 (Nintendo, 1993) - NES Gameplay\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rZf4onJtyR4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, yes, I know what you&#8217;re thinking: there are hundreds of versions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/llega-a-nintendo-switch-el-rey-de-reyes-el-tetris-original-de-nes\" title=\"\">Tetris<\/a>, why should I care about a direct sequel? Well, first of all, because there are two games titled Tetris 2. One was released directly for ZX Spectrum -in which, as a curiosity, the first ten levels were made completely drunk- and the other was produced by Nintendo for its consoles at the time (NES, SNES, Game Boy). And, of course, the Big N <strong>made the mistake not only of changing too much but of turning the game into a clone of Dr. Mario<\/strong>. In other words, a clone of an adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, instead of making lines disappear with blocks, <strong>what you had to do was connect blocks of the same color to remove the pieces that were already on the screen<\/strong>. For whatever reason, Tetris 2 never succeeded and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/nintendo-switch-2-podria-ser-anunciada-antes-de-lo-previsto\" title=\"\">Nintendo<\/a> has swept it under the rug despite it being an absolute sales success in 1994. And rightly so: it&#8217;s an act of the wildest audacity.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4-Pac-Man 2<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ndsB3vPR_Sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of Pac-man was quite clear: <strong>a round figure with a mouth that eats pills through a maze and kills ghosts<\/strong>. Enough to make sequels like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/la-accidentada-historia-de-ms-pac-man-el-primer-gran-icono-femenino-de-los-videojuegos\" title=\"\">Ms. Pac-man<\/a> or Super Pac-man, which gradually built the franchise. But in 1994, Namco decided to go all out with the first truly official sequel: Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures. And what did it have in common with the original game? Absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pac-man 2 was a graphic adventure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/tamagotchi-pero-con-un-ordenador-la-bizarra-historia-de-uno-de-los-videojuegos-mas-raros-del-mundo\" title=\"\">point and click<\/a> (yes, just as it sounds) in which our protagonist had to solve different missions assigned by other characters. The game drew from the 80s animated series and Pac-Land with the idea of making its own spin-off, but perhaps its biggest mistake was putting a &#8220;2&#8221; on it and making people believe it was going to continue the classic gameplay. <strong>The result is a disaster in which you didn&#8217;t even control Pac-man, but rather solved puzzles<\/strong> to change his attitude and make him do things. A disaster well forgotten by time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3-The Legend Of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BS The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets (SNES) - Playthrough\/Longplay\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/THoscY3rPww?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not even the most die-hard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/link-estuvo-a-punto-de-hablar-en-el-nuevo-zelda-pero-finalmente-dejaron-su-legado-silencioso-en-paz\" title=\"\">Zelda<\/a> fans remember this sequel, exclusive to Satellaview\u2014a kind of satellite modem for Super Nintendo\u2014where the protagonist wasn&#8217;t even Link, but <strong>the avatar that players had created, a sort of primordial Mii. <\/strong>Divided into four episodes, it was a sequel to A Link To The Past that could only be played for one hour on specific days and featured voices, narrators, and even a live soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ancient Stone Tablets takes place six years after the death of Ganon, who returns once again and can only be vanquished using the player&#8217;s strength. <strong>A curiosity that was believed lost in time and a group of hackers has managed to recover<\/strong>, albeit without music or live commentators.

In fact, that was the fifth part of the saga, which started in 1984 for Japanese arcade machines and even had time to pass through the Game &amp; Watch. <strong>Its fourth installment, in particular, set aside boxing to focus on&#8230; Arm wrestling!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arm Wrestling was released in American arcades in 1985 and was about defeating five opponents in the noble art of arm wrestling. If you won twenty rounds, you became the king of arm wrestling and the game started again at a more difficult level.

As if it were the Pok\u00e9mon TCG or Magic, the player collected different cards and fought against enemies using moves to deplete their health.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, this spin-off was not created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/todo-lo-que-sabemos-sobre-intergalactic-lo-nuevo-de-naughty-dogs\" title=\"\">Naughty Dog<\/a>, but by Bend Studios, who also made Golden Abyss.
