Among the latest and most popular trends in video games is to take a classic film from the ‘70s or ‘80s and transform it into a video game. Upcoming games based on The Godfather, Taxi Driver and Warriors were all the rage at E3 this year, and with film adaptations of vintage TV shows like Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice and Bewitched on the way, the trend is likely to continue. So we thought we’d let Hollywood know which ‘70s flicks we’d like to see adapted into video games. You know, the ones that are just screaming for a digital makeover.

Gandhi = Gandhi: A Taste of the Extreme
You play a sandwich and try to make your way into the Mahatma’s mouth, down his throat and into his stomach, where you must be digested or die. You can choose between being turkey, tuna, egg salad or pastrami, and different levels will find you teaming up with allies such as stealthy potato salad, the double-trouble team tactics of chips and dip, and the deadly allure of lady salsa. But Gandhi is a tricky bastard and his will power is strong. His people are behind him and even the threats of the government will not bend his spirit. But will a coldcut supreme hoagie change his wily ways? Play and see….

Ordinary People = Ordinary People with Guns
The touchy topic of teen death is treated with respect and dignity in 1980's Ordinary People. But not here!Nope, in Ordinary People with Guns you play the Timothy Hutton character, a young man so upset by his brother’s accidental boating death that he considers and attempts to take his own life…until armed with a pulse cannon and a license to kill. Then you play for points as Hutton stalks and murders his psychiatrist, doctor, pharmacist, Mary Tyler Moore, and every other sourpuss that brought him down.

Kramer vs. Kramer = Kramer Vs. Kramer Vs. Cybog Death Stalker 5000
It’s a decade after the divorce that tore apart the Kramer family and the world has been reduced to a desert wasteland apocalypse by a nuclear war. Only mutants survived and society has become a feeding ground for the cannibalistic humanoid dwellers that roam the countryside and hunt in the cities. Only three humans have survived: Mr. Kramer. Mrs. Kramer, and lil’ Kramer Jr. Together, armed with steely determination and the will to survive, this ragtag crew must survive the outland and outwit the mechanical bounty hunter that has been sent to destroy them: the Cybog Death Stalker 5000! Look out!

My Dinner with Andre = My Dinner with Andre the Giant
You have learned all that you can from the intellectual Andre Gregory, so you move onto another sort of genius, that of deceased wrestling legend Andre the Giant. But something goes horribly wrong. After resurrecting his corpse Frankenstein-style, Andre breaks free of his dinner reservations and terrorizes the city with a series of body slams and power moves. Only one man can stop him, and that is you, Wallace Shawn. Your wit and long-winded lectures have the ability to numb his brain and lull him into sleep just long enough for us to de-resurrect him and send him back to Hell from which he came. Go Wallace Shawn, go!

Terms of Endearment = Terms of Endangerment
What happens when Jack Nicholson, Shirley Maclaine, Joey Lawrence and the ghost of Debra Winger team up to hunt, bag, and kill runaway prisoners? Let’s just say that these rebels with a cause play on their own terms…Terms of Endangerment! Yes, you and your friends control Team Endangerment, a squadron of catch ‘em and stretch ‘em specialists charged with the task of rounding up the escaped inmates of Death Valley Prison USA. Using any methods possible, you try to outwit these slow-witted criminals and impress the warden with your acting skills along the way. It’s a game of skill, it’s a game of chance and it’s a game of extreme thespianism.

Annie Hall = Annie Hall: Soldier of Fortune
After battling Woody Allen, Annie Hall becomes a treasure hunter and heads to the deepest corners of Queens to find one of the most prized artifacts known to mankind: the ancient jaded elephant claw of the Hemi Cuda. Clad in a man’s business suit and tie, and armed only with the art of sarcasm, Annie must talk her way onto a ferry, make it past the armed guards, sneak past the dreaded snakepit of Allah-ville and into the temple of Ra, where she faces her deadliest foe yet, the elephant claw gatekeeper, Woody himself. New York will never be the same…

Marathon Man = Marathon Dental Examination
You play Laurence “White Angel” Olivier, the evil Nazi dentist hell-bent on yanking the truth out of Dustin Hoffman one molar at a time. With the help of various rusty cleaning utensils and a tube filled with embalming fluid, you probe and scrape your way through Hoffman’s gummy tooth hole. But Hoffman is no dummy. He’s onto your trickery and has been since the minute you strapped him down and started chanting “Is it safe?” You lose points every time he escapes or is nominated for an Oscar, so the race is on!

Midnight Express = Midnight Express: Turkish Prison Au Go-Go 
Heroin, hot showers, ultra-violence, Turkish prison love, and conjugal visits and up to only one thing: one helluva good time! Yes, you are lucky stiff incarcerated for drug smuggling that gets to pay a visit to Turkish Prison Au Go-Go, the most swingin’, sinnin’ poky this side of the Mediterranean Sea. The guards are freewheelin’, the babes are up for grabs, and the drugs are out of this world. After just one hour in this four-walled party zone and you’ll be begging the judge to get more time added to your sentence. Some say, “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.” But soon enough you’ll be sayin’, “If you can’t do the time, then you’re too told and ain’t ready to party, daddy-o, so screw ya!”
