Pretty much any series of sports/racing games that is named after a real figure besides John Madden and maybe Tony Hawk.
- Bill Walsh (Electronic Arts)
- Brett Hull (Accolade)
- Charles Barkley (Accolade)
- Colin McRae Rally (Codemasters)
- Ken Griffey Jr (Nintendo)
- Kobe Bryant (Nintendo)
- Michael Jordan (Electronic Arts)
- Mike Tyson (Nintendo/Codemasters)
- Satoru Nakajima (Varie)
- Shaun White (Ubisoft)
- Tiger Woods (Electronic Arts)
- Wayne Gretzky (Various)
You might say that some of these series don't really count, because they were effectively continued under different names. And you'd be right. But I do find it interesting that the genre's history is littered with critically and/or commercially successful brands that are doomed to lie dormant.
