"which films/television programmes would make great game ideas?"

It seems as though games companys are buying up the rights to make more film/tv franchised games, as the film industry is also buying the rights to games to make films. There are many good films and television programes that may have been overlooked to turn into games or have not been suggested yet. My favourite for conversion are "seven days" a time travelling game to set right events that occur within the last seven days with missions like save the president from assasination. please add your own ideas.

I had to wrie that excate program for my 2D graphics course at the firt year of uni! :)

I don't know whether or not there has been a highlander game, it could be based around the first film but not just focusing on the quest to be the one. considering that he had to live through all those time periods.
Stargate SG-1!

TITANIC - Try and miss the iceberg! :0)

for more car chasing action what about the sweeney, or a dodgy dealer sim based on only fools and horses: avoiding arrest, buying and selling your dodgy goods in the hope of being a millionaire.
What about a top gear game to test the latest in road cars and those funny looking concept cars around those test tracks with all the hazards and bring the cars back in one piece.
what about a baywatch game?- I will think about that one.

Classic Cartoons would be amazing! ... DangerMouse, ThunderCats, Transformers... the list goes on

I would love a decent Knight Rider game. I just love that car.

what about a new knight rider game, or a non platform blues brothers game just imagine recreating the BIG car chase sequences at the end always trying to stay one step ahead of the chasing pack.

How about sit-coms... like Red Dwarf, Father Ted, Black Books, Spaced! ?

Survivor. No, don't run away, just listen.

You wouldn't be one of the contestants, but a worried network exec trying to get someone to watch. It would be a micro management game where you'd have to come up with the scheduling, hire vagueling interesting presenters and choose which people you'd put on the island.

Note: choosing 16 of the most sneaky and petty people on the country, none of whom anyone whould like to see win £1,000,000 evidently doesn't work. Oh, and choose an island. Harsh but beautiful or maybe... the Isle of White? Have you tried the B&Bs there? They'd be begging to be back on the beach eating bowls of plain rice, I tell ya!

You'd have to deal with the newspapers and try not to get the sack from your boss when the news comes through that you've taken the top ranking US programe and turned it into a damp squib.

If your feeling underhand you could rig the procedings to get rid of the ludicrously annoying "characters" and their stupid to-camera pieces. Release the rats and poke them towards the beach - hahahaha - look at them eat rat! You get bonus points for every time someone says "it tastes like chicken".

Or you could just shoot the person who decided to schedule you against Big Brother 2...

As AS said earlier in the thread, though already having been a game many moons ago, The A-Team would rock.

Just think of all of the different things you could do in this game. Use Hannibals skills with disguises to get into anywhere, and speak to everyone.

Build trucks out of scrap metal, and go blow stuff up with them.

The game could take on the form of a FPS when you play out the scenes that usually have loads of shooting in, and people diving from haystacks, away from huge expolsions.

It could play as a beat em-up when you were BA, knocking down any foo' that decided to mess with you.

It could be a driving sim as you cruise with 'Face' picking up classy birds.

The game would also have elements of strategy as you try to get BA onto the 'damn plane', or bust Howling Mad Murdock out of the mental institution.

The overall aim of the game would be to clear the A-Team of the crimes they didn't commit.

And the soundtrack would rock.
