Suggestion for boardgames with generic pieces?

Changed the title of this thread to something more meaningful. People, please give your threads meaningful titles. It will elicit more meaningful responses as well. Threads about the Olympics should go into the "Off Topic", if you want to continue the discussion about that. Thank you :)

It just remind me something, where I was a kid, I had once a twice a game called 100 games in one. The game came a few colored boards and a few generic pieces like colored wooden token, dices, etc.

Ok, it's a long time ago. I remember there was a chinese chess, checker, a racing game, and many other than I could not remember. Of course, not all games where good but it was surprising to see who much game you could play with the same material.

I am not sure if these kind of games still exist but there is a good example of standard game pieces recycling.
