Nexon's Counter-Strike Online 2 is a curious example. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike_Online_2While the first Counter-Strike Online is more-or-less a port of CS, this is a full-on parallel sequel based on CS Source with no Western equivalent.

How do you compose lists in your site then? By reading others opinions, what's worth checking out and what's not? On my site? I play the games and sometimes read/watch reviews if I'm unsure about something. This one's listed under articles so I didn't think it was too much to ask. Your lists should have been much smaller, if you'd played 'em all regardless. Btw, listing of games, don't have the sole reason for "playability". But, i'm yet to meet Discoalucard.. and his vision.

Yeah I know it isn't the main purpose of this article, no shit lol. Anyway I wasn't trying to be rude, it's just a suggestion.

Would Interplay's Heart of the Alien count? Yes, absolutely! For some reason I thought Delphine was still involved (even though I knew Chahi wasn't) but it seems like Interplay themselves developed it totally! Here a few more, off the top of my head: Activision's Shanghai was ported to arcades by Sunsoft who went on to create a couple of Japan-only sequels. Dragon's Lair was "ported" to various computer systems by Software Projects in the mid-80s. They then created a sequel: Dragon's Lair II: Escape from Singe's Castle Victor had published the Japanese versions of the first two Dungeon Master games. They then developed/published Theron's Quest and DM Nexus, although it could be argued that these two games are remakes and not sequels. These all sound good too. I think Escape from Singe's Castle might just consist of scenes that they couldn't fit in the port of the first game, since they had to originally cut a lot out, but I'll need to double check.

I, kinda played some games and then read about them on HG101 articles, and that's about it, really. Don't want to imply anything, but it's been working for me so far.

Alright. So this is beside the point since my top lists (I think that's what you're referring to?) are not articles and I didn't bring up my site as a better example of what I asked for, but on my site several of them are WIP and I mention this next to each one on the top lists page. I have played through a shit ton of games though and I'm not saying this to brag, heh.

That is correct. It's similar to the Readysoft versions in that they picked selected scenes from the arcade game and put them into two separate games (though I'm not sure if it's the same scenes in the 8-bit and 16-bit versions).

I think this is more a case of both games being inspired by scenes from the arcade game. DQ2 is set after the events of the arcade original and Dirk's motivation (finding treasure) and the final boss (some mud monster) are also completely different. I don't know if this was always planned to be a sequel tough, maybe they just decided to make two games at some point for whatever reason. It's also worth mentioning that the first Software Projects game was actually a port of an older Coleco Adam game and only Escape from Singe's Castle was developed/designed by them. From the manual:

Yes, that is more or less what I meant. Escape from Singe's Castle is presented as a sequel in the manual, with new motivation and boss, but that is just fluff used to justify it being a sequel when the story was supposed to be already finished in the first game. All the scenes in the 8-bit version have direct counterparts in the laserdisc game, including the one with the mud monsters. So it is an original sequel in the sense that no direct counterpart developed in the US exists, but it's not original in the sense that it loosely adapts scenes from an existing game.

Riverhillsoft published PlayStation port of The Neverhood for their Japanese audience, and then bought the license to develop Klaymen Gun Hockey.

Diner, the Intellivision-only sequel to Burgertime, is a perfect example, I believe--the programmer, Ray Kaestner, had previously done the Intellivision port of Burgertime:
