The best and worst TV shows and movies based on games

MORTAL KOMBAT (1995) Director Paul W.S. Anderson grew up playing Mortal Kombat at the arcade, and his first of what turned out to be quite a few video game adaptations was, naturally, 1995’s Mortal Kombat. Unlike the more recent adaptation of this property, this movie actually features the titular fighting tournament. While the effects certainly look dated at times, Mortal Kombat is a colorful, delightfully cheesy tournament movie that embraces its source material (the needle drop of the title theme!) and goes to great pains to recreate the atmosphere of the bloody game. —

If you’re a Mario fan, 1993 was a huge year. That's because it was the year we got Super Mario Bros., the first movie based on Nintendo’s beloved series. Notoriously, this film was so bad that fans have waited thirty years for Nintendo to take another shot at Mario on the big screen. That shot is finally here in the form of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. People have died waiting for this thing, so it has high expectations, to say the least.

Reliving your life in your favorite movie or TV series could be an exciting and immersive experience, as it would allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world of the story and live out your favorite scenes and moments. However, it could also be challenging, as the stakes and challenges faced by the characters in the story may be very different from those you face in your own life.As for which movie or TV series should be turned into a video game, it really depends on the preferences of the player. Some movies or TV series may lend themselves better to a video game adaptation than others, depending on their genre, setting, and characters. For example, a science fiction movie with complex world-building and action scenes might make for a great video game, while a romantic comedy might not be as well-suited to the medium.In general, a good video game adaptation of a movie or TV series should stay true to the spirit of the original story, while also adding new elements and gameplay mechanics that are appropriate for the medium. It should also have engaging and immersive graphics and sound design, and offer a compelling and enjoyable gameplay experience for the player.
