     My guess as for reasons for sequels is that in addition to 
the preexisting name-recognizing target-audience, is that you 
already have the developer tools ready, you may have the 
developers who are familiar with these tools still assembled and 
sometimes/often you will have material from the cutting-room 
floor; levels (finished or unfinished), [enemy] character models, 
environmental textures and so on, stuff that was excluded from 
the basegame but are free to use in a sequel.

     Hmm.. nothing immediately comes to mind for me.

On the other hand, there was a recent spoof-post to a very old 
post where someone complained about the RPG "Evil Islands", I 
happened to like that base-game so much so that while the sequel 
existed in russian only, i still downloaded and managed to make 
it through the Demo for this sequel (with all quest-text in 
cyrillic). I'd really like to play the full sequel, had it had 
english text/voices.
