Games that desperately needed more levels?

[Mozgus]

I've been thinking about this one today. It's not so much an issue today as it used to be. What retro games were solid all around, except in terms of length? Games that left you wanting so much more, even beyond the innate replay value? Games where the sheer lack of areas are the biggest flaw with the product?

Yeah yeah, a lot of people poke fun at Left 4 Dead, saying it is so short, even though it came with 20 complete maps; more than any other valve game on launch. So for argument's sake, lets just stick with retro games.

I vote Marble Madness. It's an absolute crime that this game only had 6 very short stages. It was a super original concept, where the obstacles and deathtraps were more of a star than your marble. The entire game is over in like 5 minutes. What the hell?

Sonic 3, instead of more levels they just stretched out the few they had. I hate that about the game. Marble Garden is just a chore to get through, bleh. S&K fixes that though.

Gunstar Heroes, the game is just perfect but when its all said and done I crave MORE!

Nights. 'nuff said.

I agree w/ Nights and Sonic 3. Sonic 3 is short. Another I would say would be Burning Rangers. Although the random levels are nice...It would have been cool to see more environments.

Sonic 3's biggest flaw were zones like Sky Launch and Carnival, where the 2 stages had identical music tracks. That's bullshit. Sonic 2 and Sonic & Knuckels didn't get that lazy.

i would have to agree with marble madness!! man i would still kill for some new levels!

Pac-Man and Asteroids
wait... they have almost an unlimited amount of levels... sometimes its nice just to get a high score in today's 1/2 hour cinematic ending world.

The only reason we think that Marble Madness is short is that we were told by the internet that it's only 6 levels long. As far as I know there's more levels, I just can't beat that damn level 6.

Haha well I did as a kid. I can assure you, there's no more levels.

Its not the same thing, but it gives the illusion

Id have to say, Vectorman. Not ridiculously short in levels, but short with the variety of levels they provide. When playing the game, it feels as though your only scraping the top few layers of a 7 layer dip.

Marble Gardens almost ruins that game entirely for me. Doesn't flow like a proper sonic level at all, and those stupid spinning tops...
Come to think about it...there aren't really any levels in Sonic 3 that I do like
