Both pinball machine and film are solid 10/10 so not sure whether to agree or not

Oh shit, I had my dates wrong and assumed it predated the films!

There are a couple of high profile ones in progress. Uncharted with Tom Holland, Last of Us HBO series (iirc). Doubt they'll be more worthwhile. Also a Monster Hunter movie that looks like shit, and ... a Resident Evil reboot? Did anyone like the most recent Tomb Raider attempt?

Oh wait, we are talking about games based on other properties, not the other way around? People liked that Friday the 13th game, right?

Terminator 3 pinball probably brought me, overall, more joy than the film Terminator 3.

actually in general pinball probably rules this thread - tons of middling but basically playable and fun adaptations of completely lame would-be blockbusters, etc.

Neighbours on the zx spectrum whilst being a monochrome simple race around a single track game was undoubtedly miles better than the tv prog

What are we counting as the source material there?

Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 6 December 2020 21:49 (three years ago) link

The Star Wars IP as initially laid out in film form, which is admittedly a loose take on 'adaptation'.

Oh, I know a good one: Dune 2

Ecks Vs. Sever is famously a great GBA game based on a terrible movie, but I never played it (or saw the movie)

Sorry lol KOTOR I meant yes, fumblefingers.
