Sometimes it's timing, or just ignorance. Maybe the original game wasn't all that great, or it was passed on by the public at large. Maybe the sequel wasn't good. Or maybe the platform it landed on was a sinking ship? Whatever the reason, or how it came to be, what are some titles that got sequels you just weren't aware of (around the original release timeframe)?
These can be sequels. remakes, special editions (Greatest Hits, etc), or spiritual successors.
One that comes to mind is Nightmare Creatures, which got a sequel [Nightmare Creatures 2] on the Playstation and Dreamcast. I remember renting (thanks Blockbuster!) the original on Nintendo 64, and for whatever reason, never beating it. Well after some readin', I saw a sequel was made. When I am able I will have to play and beat both. It looks just as fun (and gory fun fun) to me as it did way back when.
Eventually I'll have to do a LTTP on this.
