That 1993 Dennis The Menace movie getting a SNES game really seemed odd.

And then there were the ports of it to home computers...one of which has an impossible jump so you can't complete it due to them running out of time.

TV series and not movie, but for the time period (before the movies came out) Addams Family getting a game via Fester's quest was an odd one, considering the live action show was done about 20 years before the game came out.

There was a unique 10 year period where we had Addams Family games based on the live action TV show, the 1992 cartoon series, and both movies.

Not a movie but a tv series, the Home Improvement video game will never not perplex me. Also the Scarface game on the PS2 that is somehow a sequel to the movie

I mean that isn't too farfetched especially when GTA had the formula downpacked and you just had to make it diff enough 

The game was fun

True but not like they gave a damn 

It was a straight up cash grab and Tony Montana was an even bigger asshole not learning anything lol

[nickcave]

I just think it’s funny they made a sequel to a movie where he very clearly dies at the end with no ambiguity lol

I thought it was weird that they made a video game of the 1993 Robin Williams movie "Toys".

Cool World got a game. Let that sink in.

Then again, so did The Flintstones. And I mean the 1994 live-action adaptation.

Which had a pretty good soundtrack to it. I mean, listen to the Staff Roll.

BUT, there's a button whose only function is swearing, so I think its creation is a net positive.

To be fair that game was basically a fanfic what if, not that I'm complaining.

[Zombie Mod]

big trouble in little china on the commodore 64.

the film is a cult hit ( also a bit of a flop at the time it was released.) but the game from what I remember of it was terrible.

I liked how The Simpsons made a game-within-the-show based on that. In this day and age, a concept like that is not far-fetched, whether it's looking at games from Telltale, Quantic Dream, or even stuff like Life is Strange.

Don't forget Halloween for the 2600.

Few years back a guy was making a Sharknado game for the 2600. He had previously made a few movie based Atari games,and got permission to do very limited runs. Whoever owns sharknado told him no. So he had to change a few things to his game.

[Joker]

Some one mentioned it in a list already but The Lawnmower Man is such an odd choice to be made into a game now.

But looking back it was hyped as being virtual reality movie so of course it got jumped on by the game making companies.

The Italian Job

No not the adaption of the Mark Wahlberg remake. They made a game for PSone based on the original Michael Caine... which OK is a ideal movie to base game on considering all the car action scenes.

But this was game released in 2001 based on a movie from 1969 that also starred Noel Coward and Benny Hill.

Funfact: doing the voice of Charlie Crocker in the game was professional Michael Caine impersonator Phil Cornwell who played Caine in the comedy series “Stella Street”
