"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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Eurotrash

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)

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 :)

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.
