Explore two decades of licensed video games based on blockbuster movies.
You've seen the movie, now PLAY the movie!
Long before gaming came to the big screen, cinema arrived in the homes of millions in the form of licensed video games; playable merchandise that tied in to some of the major tentpoles of cinematic history. Many of these games followed the storylines of the movies on which they were based, as well as providing supplementary adventures to major franchises. Collected in this book are some of the biggest games to come from Hollywood adventures during the '80s and '90s.
In this comprehensive book, you'll find over 300 games across 18 chapters, with sections dedicated to major movie franchises such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Top Gun, Pixar, Aliens and Indiana Jones, along with nearly 200 full-colour screenshots of major releases. Showcasing the highs and lows of early computer gaming through the 16-bit era and onto the advent of 3D console gaming, A Guide to Movie Based Video Games: 1982 - 2000 covers two decades of video games with trivia, analysis and recommendations.
Grab your controller, step into the silver screen and get ready to play!

Chris Carton loves video games and movies, both good and bad. He was born in Galway, but now lives in Cork with his family, where he still tries to play and watch as many games and movies as he can squeeze into his busy family life. He once saved his pocket money and spent it on Small Soldiers for PS1, so you're in good hands here. He has previously written A Guide to Video Game Movies and The Ultimate Book of Movie Monsters for Pen & Sword/White Owl books.
