REPLY:
I don’t know whether you feel for not popularizing other avatars or for projecting only Krishna much.  But, your doubt comes in everyone’s mind though it is innocent one.
Of course, only Krishna form is projected much all over.  No doubt.  But, there are reasons.
Let us consider a family in which there are 4-5 children.  Though all children are equal for parents, they enjoy the activities of a particular child who is the naughtiest one.  If a child is always doing something and another one is soft natured and calm, which one will get more attention of others? Naturally the naughty child.
Similarly, Krishna’s lilas are filled with all kinds of rasas.  If anyone likes tatva, Krishna has it and He has given ultimate preachings for the betterment of people;  If anyone likes childhood plays, Krishna has shown them abundantly;  If anyone likes love, they can enjoy reading the love of gopis on Krishna. If anyone is interested in renunciation, they can follow Krishna who remained in a renounced state even with His 1000s of wives and who left this planet like a renounced person after His purpose is over on earth.  If anyone likes poking/ pranking, Krishna has many stories about them. If anyone likes to know how a guru-disciple relation will be, they can know them from the approach of Arjuna to Krishna in the battle field.
Thus, you can get whatever rasas from Krishna.  That is why, Krishna is considered as POORNA AVATAR.  Just because He is poorna avatar, we do not call Him as an avatar, but, the DESCENDENCE OF ORIGINAL SUPREME PERSON AS HE IS TO EARTH.
Krishna came to earth as Lord Rama after hiding some of His qualities.  That is why, Lord Rama did not remember that He was Vishnu Himself. And, Lord Rama wanted to set an example for how a kshatriya should be. He established the actual kshatriya dharma which states that a kshatriya/ king should give importance only to His people when there is a choice between His own wife and country’s people.  In Rama avatar, Lord had hidden most of His lilas and He exposed only those rasas that are required for the purpose of His visit.
Other avatars of Lord Vishnu/ Krishna came here for a certain purpose.  They came suddenly, fulfilled their purpose of their visits and left immediately.
Only in Krishna avatar, Lord showed all His potencies, vaibhavs, rasas, etc.  Krishna behaved exactly similar to His activities in Goloka.  He did not hide any of His qualities while coming to earth.  So, though Krishna’s name is also included in avatars, He is Purna avatar, ie, exactly the same Krishna who is existing in Goloka.
That is why, we speak about Krishna much.  This does not mean we reduce the importance of Rama and other avatars.  There are more rasas/ vaibhavs/ lilas to speak about Krishna.  Thats all.
All the avatars of Vishnu/ Krishna have same importance.  As Krishna is a complete avatar, we have so many things to discuss about Him.
Of course, the people during Lord Rama’s period knew only about Rama as you say, but, even those days many intelligent people and rishis were there who were speaking about the avatars of Vishnu and even future avatars such as Krishna, Kalki, etc.  Even now, we are speaking about Kalki though that avatar has not yet happened.  Similarly, rishis and intelligent people had known about the future avatars also.  And, after Krishna avatar, recently the printing technology came to exist and hence we have so many books to read about avatars now.  Those days had no such facilities and they heard everything from rishis and brahmanas only.
Your another query.  Though Krishna came here late after Rama avatar, He need not hide His qualities.  Do you expect that only the elder son should be a naughty child?  Cant the last child be a naughty child? we have seen that most of the youngest children in a family happen to be naughty ones.  Even elder brother enjoy the plays of his last brother.
Similarly, Krishna avatar is complete avatar though He came after Rama.  Some avatars have hidden their original qualities while coming to earth thats all.  Krishna showed all the original qualities as it is.  Thats all.
Hope you are clear.
