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.

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.

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.

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!

i think that what the computer game industry needs is a real rpg game set in modern times, take coronation street, that wold make a realy good game. you could take on the role of any one of the main characters, and be realy boring, or you could go on a rampage killing all the cast with one of betties radioactive hot-pots.

this is just a thought but if anybody actually make such a game please send me a copy.

lol...n ofraid not, wiped it form my harddrive after I handed it in...

The game itself was pretty simple (the emphasis being on 2D graphics) You go to see the screen full of Icebergs, which then vanished, and you had to attempt to guide the ship from the top left to the bottom right of the screen :)
