    Not putting in a poll just say what game u think is best and why.

    Star Trek armada - I fould it to be very enjoyable and was VERY easy to MOD. It had a huge online modding comunity. Map editer was simple aswell.

    Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 - Very good FPS i enjoyed it so much because i think in cutcenes in games there should be actors, like in JK DF2. Excelent Darkside ending brillent movie.

    SW KOTR - The only RPG game i ever played for more then 15 min. I loved it an amazing game. brillent story great melee fighting. Most of the time in conversations the game had a option of saying what i wanted to say (or atleast something simmilar)

    Hmm very odd i cant think of any games that i have besides Star Trek and Star wars that are based on movies/TV shows.

    There was a huge flood of them in the 80s/early 90s, and most of them were terrible....

    Some good ones from the good old days include The Great Escape, Hudson Hawk, Batman The Movie, Robocop...

    Goldeneye was the best bond movie and the best bond game. - good choice

    Interesting bit of info. TMB You mentioned the flood of games based on movies. You all have heard of or watch SG1? (StarGate)
    Years and years ago Saga made a not so good game called StarGate based on the movie, aparently though some madd loophole they still own the rights to StarGate and wanted to sell them at a high price to whoever wanted to buy them

    There is 1 Stargate RPG in develpment now so i assume someone bought the rights from saga.

    One night at about 2am there was a movie called Driver, the story of the movie was the same as the story from the game. Does that mean driver is based after the movie or the movie after driver?

    The Getaway is another one of the better games based on films.

    I'm gonna have to say The Thing for the PS2.

    The old Turtles game on the NES was brilliant. There was a fantastic Flintstones game on the Speccy. Indiana Jones And The Lost Crusade had a brilliant point n' click. The Disney game on the MD mentioned earlier was also fantastic. Remember playing that soooo much. And Quack Attack <or whatever it was called> with just Donald Duck <the one with the plungers> for the MD was also great.

    The Star Wars tie-ins have also been really great... especially Tie-Fighter. And I've gotta admit having been fond of Supremacy. Pity I only had a lend. :(

    Oh and there was that classic Monty Python platformer.
    <shuts up now>

    I'm pretty sure that was Impossible Mission, actually. Unless you're talking about Mission Impossibubble.. :) (Neither were based on the show, but its likely that the first was inspired by it).

    OK, I'll shut up now.
