The film and video-game industries make billions of dollars each year, so making games about movies (and vice versa) is a natural and logical tie-in. Sadly, the combination of my two favorite hobbies usually ends in embarrassing failure.
Regardless, it's fun to take a look back at some classic characters that graced the silver screen in the '70s and '80s and see how they look as 2D sprites.
Notice that R-rated flicks spawned most of the following titles (targeted at kids). Just how the hell did Jaws get away with a PG rating? Anyway, on with the show....
