"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.

baywatch the game:
save people - mitch's ego grows and chest hair expands
fail - hoby's voice begins to break in the company of the female lifeguards
jetski rides, foil the criminals plots (mitch's ego boosts and becomes more attractive to the ladies)

stargates a good one, so is Titanic but your one person on a pleasure cruse, you can explore you boat and be on holiday then bang, you strike the berg.

Das boot would be a good one, the German submarine film.

Only fools and horses, you would have to sell goods down the market, and you could call rodney a plonker.

Eastenders you could run the queen vic and have phil, steve etc wanting drinks.

Although... there has already been several Titanic games... and an only fools and horses title (I think?)... and Das Boot...

No StarGate that I know of though?

yeah ok but there isn't a good titanic game where you can pretend your just on holiday on the liner, and then when it hits the iceberg you have to save your self, you could jump in the water, swim, row boats etc, even die in the cold water.

The same with das boot, there are submarine games but i want a first person submarine game where you control one person and have to issue or follow commands. If your boat fills with water then you have to escape througth the hatch and await pick up or die.

there are games out there but there all rubbish, there fun for a while but, i want a game that could go on and on or be different everytime you play it.

Twin Peaks would make an excellent live action game. With today's advances in computer technology and the wide availability of DVD, It could restart this whole genre of PC gaming once more.

I know it's a stupid idea, but what if there was the game, Bed Knobs And Brommsticks game was to be invented.

How about a Championship Manager film? A person plays his game as usual, then suddenly he realises that he is controlling the real life club through his computer!

Of course, hilarity would prevail!

I have been away for a while, but I'm back now.
I have mostly been watching US television ( mainly old repeats of whose line is it anyway... ) but I did come across a tv programme (also a good comic book - once did a cross over story with lara croft) called Witchblade
I think it would make a good game conversion if one isn't already in the works.
Other than that some fool broke the television in the residence halls so I haven't watched tv for a week.
more suggestions soon!
