Games of Summer: Goin' to the Movies Edition

Posted by apspu on May 12th, 2013

Welcome back to Games of Summer. When i launched this column last year, Buy AION Kinah I focused on singular releases that i felt were worth playing again. However, this year, I thought I would do something a little bit different, focusing on a weekly theme and some games that relate to it.

Since we're getting into the thick of the summer movie season (with last week's release of Iron Man 3), I thought I would take a look back at some classic movie-to-game adaptations. I'm aiming more for the "old-school" titles from the 80's and early 90's, so you won't see favorites like Spider-Man 2 and GoldenEye 007. But there are still some quality choices here. Enjoy!

In 1985, Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg made a childhood gem with the Goonies, a movie that's still a classic nearly 30 years later. Likewise, Konami made a great game that captured that very spirit: a side-scrolling action game where you kick large mice and thugs while collecting diamonds, blowing up doors with bombs, and picking up handy weapons, like the slingshot, to move into the next area. Sadly, the game never got a home release here in the U. S., though it did find its way to the Famicom overseas. It shouldn't be too hard to find a ROM, or, better yet, an arcade version. Like Cyndi Lauper says, "It's good enough for me! "
