Well, I'm not sure I'd call all these games "unsustainable" in a broad sense. Certainly they didn't all take root as a permanent presence in every metropolitan area and college town like Magic has, though.

alive as far as I can see. It has had at least one relatively recent release. Again, its pockets of activity are harder to actively farm because you really need at least 4 people to get in a good game.
Still kicking, extensively. They are having a global event at 315 different stores this weekend, from Nov. 7-9. They are also gearing up for a new base-set release in Summer of 2009.
A game that I never see anymore but enjoyed? Warlord. It had some balance problems in the end that forced a reset, and I think the direction of the storyline aspects of the game just didn't work out, but the underlying mechanics and themes were a lot of fun.
