What d'you think was the best movie game that made it to the Amiga and say why it was

[Jim]

I'd vote for Batman The Movie.

The 1st level was OK, but the 2nd level (Batmobile) really blew me away :)

[oldpx]

Aladdin was a good platformer if it counts.

[Djay]

Aladdin was a good platformer if it counts
yeah, that was good

i kinda liked the T2 - Arcade Game : the operation wolf styled one

[Dastardly]

Id have to agree with Jim on this one. Batman the movie was an excellent game.

[Shatterhand]

Moonwalker.....

no, that was a joke .. :D

It gotta be... Hudson Hawk, I love that game. Can't think of any other movie tie-in I liked more than Hudson Hawk.

I also loved T2 arcade game too, but I think it was a little too easy. The only real hard stage for me was the truck stage.

I never played Amiga's Alladin, so I can't vote in that one. But the mega-drive version is great really.

[Akira]

Of course, Akira

BWAHAHAHAHA! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say Robocop 3 was one of the best movie tie-ins. I also enjoy Hudson Hawk like Shatterhand.

[Fred the Fop]

Well I'd like to add "Plan 9 from outer Space". the movie was awful, but fun, and the game was pretty good. i am biased to point n clickers.

[alkis21]

Well this isn't such a hard choice as most games that were based on movies were crap, in my opinion (Ocean gave birth to dozens of them like a rabbit, some of them looked like they were programmed in a week). Aladdin AGA for me, definetely.

[Tim Janssen]

Oddly enough, I have fond memories of Ocean’s Darkman. It was one of the first games I played on my Amiga. Although the game was regarded as ‘average’ by most magazines at the time, I enjoyed the photo-shoot sub-levels, the helicopter chase and a section in level 2 which had you running through a corridor with crushing steel-plates. The best part of the game is the title screen. It has silhouettes of Darkman scrolling in the background and the accompanying music is still the moodiest and atmospheric I’ve ever listened too.

[oldpx]

I first played and liked darkman on c64, I had played a lot of crap games with my casette only 64 before that and darkman was original with those features you mentioned Tim. Amiga version was ok as well, maybe it was the best movie game ocean made.

[Muzkat]

I'll go with Hudson Hawk too, but I've also got a soft spot for Total Recall.

[Bobbin]

Indiana Jones 3 surely.

[alkis21]

Don't get me wrong, I adore LucasArts and I enjoyed IJ3 very much, but I was disappointed by the fact that if you had seen the movie you knew exactly what was coming next. That's the problem with adventure games based on movies.

[LaundroMat]

The Adam's Family was a nice movie tie-in too. Makes me think I should return to it and have another go.

It was pure poop. I had to say this ;)

[RetroMan]

I would vote for Blues Brother, great Jump´n Run :)

[Burge]

Wizball.

No wait...

[Drake1009]

I liked Hudson hawk as well. One of the reasons I bought an Amiga was to play hudson hawk again. I liked the addams family as well though, not the SNES version with all the extras, but the Amiga version which was a base platformer.

But Hudson was the best. Never got the idea of the Total recall game.

[Dizzy]

BATMAN get my vote.
But I also like Commando, it kind of rocks

Rambo III on Arcade (not the stupid amiga/c64 version)
is really funny with all its violence and blood. Good for your aggression.

[Galahad/FLT]

Hook, Robocop 3, Knightmare

[Shatterhand]

Commando? The game from Capcom? Was it on Amiga? And was it based on the movie ?

I forgot about Addams Family, I LOVE that game... hmm...
But I´ll stick with Hudson Hawk :D

[Drake1009]

Commando was on the amiga but I don't think it was based on a movie.

[Shatterhand]

Commando was on Amiga in a OFFICIAL version?
Never heard about it..

I can't see what people see on Batman The Movie. Yeah, it had a nice racing section, and also there was that section in the bat-flyingship or whatever it's called, but the platforms sections were just Booooooring.

Darkman was average stuff. The photo leves were very nice but very useless too... The platform levels were, well, average really :D . It was also too easy, I finished it pretty quickly. At least it's MUCH BETTER than the crap NES version.

Not based on the movie, but Commando was indeed on the Amiga...

[Jim]

Street Fighter.

Yes. OK, the movie was based on the game. Crap game anyway !

Blues Brothers was OK.

Addams Family was alright, so was Hudson Hawk.

It Came From The Desert was cool - just a shame it was based on a movie that was never made !

[thinlega]

It was based on the movie "THEM!" it is worth getting it as the old man does an almost word for word "we may be witness to ..... " intro speech!!!

[Shatterhand]

Any chances of a Commando screenshot?

Didn't know it was out for the amiga..

funny thing is that other day it was found the MSX version of Commando , something most people also didn't know it exist.

Erm, I am going too much off-topic now, sorry :D

[Twistin'Ghost]

Heck yeah, man - both THEM and ICFTD rocked!

[Drake1009]

Find a screenshot of the Arcade version of commando. They're very very close.

[Twistin'Ghost]

Crap composite, but on short notice...

Bumped this thread to put it above its inferior clone !:D

[Shatterhand]

LOL, no one got the idea from my thread!! :D

Commando on Amiga looks great, I'll search for it later.

HEY !

Stay out of MY Amiga Game/Movie thread ! :D

You've got your own crappy little one down below ! :cheese

[CPC464]

I have to agree with Jim :)

As a 60's & B-Type Movie Lover I thought "It Came from the Desert was a superb Game and I loved the movie "Them :agree

That's why I made that my Avatar :)
