Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2003 Okay the talk about another D&D movie being made got my mind thinking in another direction. What was the best/worst game-to-movie translastion you have seen? I am very hesitant to throw anime in the mix, because all of the game/anime translations they do are at the very least decent to watch. Best - Mortal Kombat Worst (tie) - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation/Dungeons & Dragons Your takes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted May 24, 2003 There has been so many bad ones but Mario Brothers is the one I disliked the most. Pop quiz boys now I live in the sewer and want to devolve the population to lizards and the only resistance is Plumbers? Worst: Super Mario Brothers Mortal Kombat was good as it unlike many movies kept the plot simple and true to the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted May 24, 2003 If board games count, then Clue by a mile. Funny as hell and a great cast. Worst movie to game translation was Atari's E.T. I played that games for hours wanting to beat it and you couldn't, because it wasn't finish. I got as far a person could though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 24, 2003 What...Atari released a game that wasn't finished? How the hell did they get away with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chirs3 Report post Posted May 24, 2003 Best game to movie translation? Mortal Kombat, no question. Worst? There are so many... probably MK: Annihalation, though... or Street Fighter... or Tomb Raider... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2003 Best: Mortal Kombat by a landslide Worst:How about Final Fantasy? The movie had absolutely nothing to do with the game and it had a poor story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest newblood03 Report post Posted May 24, 2003 Best : Mortal Kombat Worst: Resident Evil Tomb Raider D&D Street Fighter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2003 I didn't think Resident Evil was all that bad... then again I am big Mila Jovovich mark... Street Fighter ranks just behind MK:A and D&D, but not far behind.. I was heavy into Street Fighter when that came out, and I just shuddered in revulsion.. I had to go to the local arcade and play SSFII several times before I felt better.... And then Street Fighter the Movie arcade game hit..... ::shudders again:: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted May 24, 2003 (edited) The story with the E.T. game was that the heads at Atari wanted it out by Christmas, but the programmers weren't finished with it. Atari said the kids wouldn't notice and they'd sell tons anyway. It was a collossal flop and therfore the easiest game to find because nobody wants it. Basically, as far as you could get was to get a clock in the shape of a pie chart to come up at the top of the screen (which you only did on luck more than anything) and then you run to where you started the game and the spaceship would come get you, but the ship never came and the farther you played into the game the more shitty and harder to play it became.
