However, there are some great classics hidden amongst them. What are your favourites and why? Mine is Jurassic Park for the NES. It handled well, there were lots of different dinosaurs and the levels were nicely varied although keeping a similar theme. The other versions of JP that I tried just didn't have the appeal of this one.

cenobite 8 years 9 months ago Posts: 39	My favourite "movie-based game" when I was a child was True Lies for the MegaDrive (or Genesis if you're from the US). I also like Alien Resurrection for the PS1 very much, though I don't think it fits the term "retro" here. There are quite a lot games based on movies that are actually good, like Ghost in the Shell for example or Super Empire strikes Back. But there's also a lot of crap out there ceno

System 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 74809	Some of them are good. The best one I ever played was "Hook" for the 8-Bit NES. That game was just awesome. The arcade version of "Hook" was OK, but I didn't like the one they made for the 16 bit systems. It was too hard

I liked Jedi Power Battles but I'm not sure if that counts as a movie based game. A couple others I know of are: Goldeneye on N64 (Just cause it's worth mentioning AGAIN) The Warriors (Xbox)
