What classic Amiga games(s) did you always want to see made into a movie (or TV show) ?

Predseda · 14 February 2017, 08:34

Tetris

Another World, Flashback, Future Wars and Monkey Island.

Amigajay · 14 February 2017, 09:16

Cinemaware games.

Another World would make a cool silent Manga type film.

Waxworks mine level
Lionheart

Twiggy · 14 February 2017, 10:24

Captain Planet...oh wait.

Probably Agony, so something that looks like Legend of the Guardians but using the Agony plot.

The Tree Stooges is shown in Lethal Weapon 3 but sadly the PC DOS version.

Never seen this version, is it set in Old Man Peabody's Pine Tree Farm?

It Came from the Desert (interestingly, this was heavily influenced by the "giant bug" B-Movies of the 1950's)
Another World
Prince of Persia (was made yet with no correlation to the original)
The Secret of Monkey Island (this was actually a strong influence on Pirates of the Caribbean. The game, however, was also strongly influenced by the Disney ride, so it's a case of circular influence)
Shadow of the Beast
The Chaos Engine
Apydia (would be a nice animé of sorts, I reckon)
Gods
Golden Axe
Legend of Kyrandia
Lionheart
Maniac Mansion
Moonstone - A Hard Day's Knight
Beneath a Steel Sky
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (had to be made with 1990's Harrison Ford. That train has passed)

I'm sure there's more, but I'm not remembering them.

I think Shadow of the Beast movie should be based more on console "remake" as they added good ideas.

ransom1122 · 14 February 2017, 14:04

I think Lost Patrol could end up being a blockbuster if done correctly.

All the Lucasfilm games, especially Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis. Always seemed t me like a logical move to make that into a film but it never happened

I think Loom, Maniac Mansion and Zak McKraken would be awesome movies.

Well... I guess Speedball 2 is basically inspired by Rollerball the movie...

Populous could be pretty good, if done from both the "player" and "pieces" points of view.

DannyBoy · 14 February 2017, 21:41

Moonstone, definitely!

LuMan · 14 February 2017, 22:06

Midwinter. Despite it being like lots of movies already.

Stunt Car Racer. Gotta be better than Days Of Thunder (both the game AND the film!)

Octamed... er...

None of Them --- Silly Idea !

So many good suggestions!

Another World and Flashback are the obvious inspirations, Shadow of the the Beast is up there too. Adventure games like Beneath a Steel Sky (and Monkey Island/Indy) are almost movies of a sort already.

I'm really liking the more out-of-the-box suggestions too, Speedball, Apydia, Chaos Engine, especially Agony - I've seen it but not played it, what's the story like?

Would love to see a Silkworm movie myself...
