[Multiplatform] Game Series you just stopped playing. Sonic is the correct answer, by the way.

Namco's Tales of series - The first time I saw this series was a Nintendo Power preview for ToP. Of course it was followed by the classic line that went something like "...but we don't see this being released outside of Japan". Then comes the PS1 era and ToD which I decided to get since I had been so interested in ToP's gameplay mechanics and story when I read the NP preview. I throughly enjoyed everything in ToD, and it just felt like a fun RPG to play in the way that its fights mixed action and RPG elements together. I think it was kinda under the radar at the time due to having been released near Xenogears.

What Happened?: I'm not too sure why I lost interest in this series. It has (had?) a lot of RPG elements and themes that I liked in ToD. Sure it's not mind blowing with some of its story elements and such, but I still don't understand how I can't seem to get into any of the other titles in the series. I got ToE off ebay along with the guide for a good price, and got bored somewhere around the 2nd disc. I tried ToS on the GC, and while it sorta held my interest at the start, I found no compelling reason to continue playing. I also tried the translated ToP rom, and barely got anywhere in that. I don't know if I've been spoiled by other RPGs and games in general, or that when I tried playing those games that maybe in the case of ToE and ToP that they felt too dated. It's kinda disappointing since I know the games are good in their own right, but since I haven't been able to finish any of the ones I listed up there besides ToD, I thus haven't bothered getting any of the subsequent releases since ToS.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
