How many of you play Candyland, Life, Monopoly, Easy Money, Hangman, Battleship, King Oil, Carrier Strike, Squad leader,  Catch the Road Runner, Snoopy vs the Red Baron, Kerpluck, Don't break the ice,  Clue, Where in world is Carmen Santigio, Mission impossible, Don't tip the waiter, operation, Jaws,  mouse trap, Kojak,  Tank Battle, popeye the sailor man,  Berumda Triangle and twister.I think the question needs to be reworded due people getting hung up on the word Obsolete.  1. Do games lose their audience and go out of print due lost audience?  2. Do games which are still in print get better?3. Do games which are still in print but with rules changes get better?1. It depends on the game.  Some games I played as kid have went out print like Jaws, others like kerpluk, monopoly are still in print.2. It depends on the game. Some games the pieces improve and others the pieces get cheaper. Look at some the risk games. Use to have big and little wood pieces for armies now plastic. Look at Life. The one I had seventies the board was thicker and playing pieces heavier than today's product. 3. Again it depends on the game tratics 1 vs Tractics 2 rules were changed and reedited. OD&D (the one true game) vs 3.5 D&D (the one playable game) is open to debate and fanatics will gripe if you disagree with them.As aside some old wind bags here have came down on newer players wanting and using the splatbooks. Being an old wind bag let me stick a pin in them. Sorry guys either you had the great luck to have great players in your early years(in this case I curse you because I got the bad players you did get) or you have forgotten the fights of changing npc classes in Dragon to pc classes, Judges Guild stuff in Greyhawk, Talon and his rocket powered sword for the Sword and Sorcerer movie, the Thudarr clones etc. Or that you can turn to exact page of dmg for a rule lookup or magic item.</blockquote>
