Some of us have been playing these games since our youth, but new and improved versions continue to build on certain series of video games that are virtually dynasties at this point.

It’s interesting to think about the fact that concepts born over a quarter century ago still remain wildly popular today as new games in the series continue to build on the brand. This article will focus on a few of these franchises.

Some might argue that it all started with the birth of Mario, a character created by Nintendo during the mid 1980s.

When Nintendo was released, many people received Super Mario Brothers, a complimentary game, with the system. Little did people know that Mario and Luigi would turn out to be two of the most recognizable video game figures in the history of the genre. There have been so many releases in this series on different platforms, and the brand shows no signs of slowing down.

Every sports lover has played John Madden football at some point in time. EA Sports has created the most realistic football simulation in the world, and no brand can seemingly compete with it. Madden has ruled the world of football video games for almost twenty years now.

The most impressive aspect about this game is the fact that it still gets better each year. With high expectations running rampant with each release, EA Sports rarely fails to please its base of users, and that’s quite impressive for a game that maintains the same basic premise in each release.

Those who enjoy role playing games go crazy for Grand Theft Auto. Between the great action, the enjoyable music, and the impressive and realistic representations of different American cities, there’s so much to love about the numerous versions of Grand Theft Auto.

People become addicted to this game, and it’s so detailed that it could literally have you discovering new elements months after owning it. Each release of a new version is as big as a movie release, which says enough in and of itself.
