MoonlightKnight Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 quote: Originally posted by The Night Phantom: James Bond 007 seems to be based on the movie series, as opposed to being taken directly from the novels. James Bond should be subtitled: Diamonds are Forever since everything in that game seems to point to that movie.

Nukey Shay Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 No, more closer to The Spy Who Loved Me...since that is the only one that featured the Lotus. BTW many of the games mentioned are in fact based on arcade games, or have so little in common with the movies as to make the point moot.

I have never played James Bond 007, nor am I a Bond buff, but the game's manual identifies the three stages as being from Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, and The Spy Who Loved Me.

Elvis8Atari Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Pac Man, Frogger, Q-bert and Pole Position were cartoon shows as well. But those are cartoons based on video games so I don't know if you'd count those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolenta Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 quote: Originally posted by The Night Phantom: Possibly the license was granted before 20th Century Fox decided to make games based on its movies; maybe it was even a test case. I believe this is correct. The Towering Inferno came out before the Fox games. Maybe it was US Games' licensing of the title that gave Fox the idea to get into the game business. One title that wasn't mentioned was Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes. This was inspired by the movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. And if you want to include 2600 games that have the same names of movies that came afterwards, you can include Stargate and Waterworld.

And Solaris was the name of a 1972 Russian Sci-fi movie based on a book by Stanislaw Lem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella'sGhost Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Monster greifen an: Not all 20th Century Fox games. What about Beany Bopper and Deadly Duck, those weren't movies. They probably were movies, straight to video or drive ins. I think Kevin Costner was at least in one of them. I have James Bond 007 and it was better the first time, when it was called Moon Patrol.

In an effort to get into the gaming business quickly, Fox licensed these four games from Sirus Software, who also released them for the computers.
