Er, maybe I'm off the mark, but doesn't that first stipulation (having
significant longevity) pretty much apply to most games people on this
list would care to make?  Does anybody write a multiplayer game that
they intend for people to play for only, say, the next 2 months, as
might be the case with a strictly single player game?  :)

Of course, I'm speaking of intent here, not reality.  Also keep in
mind that I'm coming from the graphical side of things, the side where
you really don't get anywhere without tools, where even if you don't
plan to have 'significant longevity', tools are still pretty much a
prerequisite for doing anything.  (though the sophistication level can
vary greatly)
