actually 'Last Action Hero" would be a good movie.

(Almost like another Arnold Schwarzenegger) Rough, Tough, & full of stuff

Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis

Mean Streets (only Tex Murphy game to make it on to the Amiga)

The Secret of Monkey Island

Rocket Ranger (although accepted it was based on those old style movie's / Saturday matinee's)

Weird Dreams

I always thought that Project Firestart (C64 only) should have had an Amiga port and would have made an excellent Aliens-esque movie

Curse of Enchantia would be pretty cool. Some sort of Labyrinth-esc fantasy thing.

Heimdall would also be an interesting one. But I guess that's just Norse mythology.

Amiga lemmings... (Funny movie,)

Atari ST (sorry

) Sundog.

Someone did mention 3DO in another thread; would love to see a movie for Killing Time; plot was interesting for that one

If anyone had a boxed copy of Hired Guns they will know that the game came with two short stories. One on the history and personalities of each of the crew, and one short story explaining how they came to be assigned the Graveyard mission.

It seems such a shame that all that work went into character development and nothing came of it. A Hired Guns movie could potentially benefit from having all that source material already written.

Although it would seem that a film with the title Hired Guns already exists, a short film was made in 2011 according to IMDB, so maybe another title would be needed.

It's not an Amiga game but the old Lucasarts classic "The Dig" or even "Full Throttle."

PS2s Shadow of Colossus was supposed to come on thr bug screen but nothing came from it.

Never heard of this, so many cool games I never played back in the day...

Longplay is on YouTube but maybe you should try to play.

Toncon · 06 October 2018, 17:15

and of course for inter mission of those amiga originated movie, Eric Schwartz animation.
which is like old Warner's or Felix the Cat. (3 to 5 mins)

Predseda · 06 October 2018, 19:32

Burton Bird of course.

desiv · 06 October 2018, 19:38

OK, not an Amiga game (although thanx meynaf for the conversion), but I would love to see Karateka as a movie, but it has to end with the main character running to rescue the girl, not slowing down in time, and her kicking him in the face. ;-)

Hmmm judging on past performance of games made into a film I tend to lean towards none.

Games and films are very different media and don't really cross over that well in either direction. A film based on a game needs to flesh out a story or completely rewrite it for the screen which just gets peoples backs up when its not faithful to the game. An adventure game may work if set in the same universe, same characters etc but don't follow a games story. Monkey Island for example. Great game but as a film following the games story point for point I'm not so sure.

Seiya · 09 October 2018, 00:48

Tyran. I think it could be a very interesting movie

SquawkBox · 12 October 2018, 01:55

Loriciels' Fifth Axis, no doubt anyone familiar with this intriguing 8-bit platformer shall concede it could be turned into a superb movie.
Just have a look at the background information from the manual, and be amazed by the wild imagination demonstrated
by the Guillon brothers!

Another World or Flashback would make for good movies. Another World less so due to the lack of dialog in the game, it would be annoying having the main character babble to himself or the Aliens through the whole movie.
