With the inevitable march of technology, cat memes and the of people's ability to write proper grammar, I see a need to create a sequel to a thread before it's even had its first DLC announced.
Sadly, games that receive sequels tend to fall by the wayside once their newer sibling emerges into the harsh, cruel world of gaming, so I'd like to take a moment to give them the recognition that they deserve; a proper farewell of sorts.
Based on the contents of the feeble prequel to this thread, I can attest that the following games have become nothing but irrelevant cobblestones on the road of progress.
King's Bounty (a.k.a. HoMM 0) -> Heroes of Might & Magic 1
Heroes of Might & Magic 1 -> Heroes of Might & Magic 2
SimCity - > Simcity 2000
Warcraft 1 -> Warcraft 2
Worms 1 -> Worms 2
Worms 2 -> Worms: Armageddon
What some might call some "obvious" steps in the above examples have purposefully been avoided, as strong cases have been made where the prequels in particular were not invalidated by their sequels. I also do not bring up examples where I'm unfamiliar with the titles in question.
This list may be updated at a later date.
But what about you, dear readers? What prequels do you know of that are now less relevant than fidget spinners?
