Top 5 Old School Video Game Adaptations of Modern Hollywood

Page 2 of 2

03. Twilight Interactive Game

Even though there is absolutely nobody without severe brain damage that would want to play a Twilight game, this one is actually pretty ingenious, being that it uses embedded links in the video to make it so you can actually play the game. Granted, it's not much more than a Choose Your Own Adventure process, but it's pretty damn clever. Too bad it's wasted on something horrible.

02. Full House Tournament Fighter Turbo

Confession time, we've seen every episode of Full House. We're not proud of this, we don't love it in an ironic way, and we know that this brings shame to our family. The only unfortunate thing about a game allowing you to stage a battle between Uncle Jesse and Joey is that someone has to win. We love how the makers went out of their way to include horrible hit detection and awkward controls.

01. Game of Thrones RPG

Another gem from the same studio that brought you Dr. Horrible's Sing-long Game. In addition to the fun of having "Incest" as a command, we've always thought it would be neat if a game questioned our battle decisions. Is it really necessary to summon Bahamut to destroy these goblins just so you can see the cool animation? By the way, don't watch that video if you haven't seen Season 1, as it gives away some pretty important plot points.
