noiseredux | 232 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 first thing that came to mind for me was Friday The 13th (NES). Loved that game as a kid - the intro screen even scared me. I didn't see any of the movies until I was in 6th grade, maybe junior high, so there was a solid few year lapse there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,924 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 GoldenEye. I'd be surprised if this wasn't true for many others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,414 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Sweet Home is really popular and I don't think many people care about it in the movie sense, but I sure wouldn't say I'm completely in love with it because the random battles never end long after they become pointless. Chronicles of Riddick is the first movie game I remember people liking more than the movie, or in spite of the fact that it's a movie game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abelardo | 154 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Blazing Lazers was based on a Japanese movie, it's called Gunhed, never watched it and most likely never will, the game is awesome, no need to watch a subpar film to enjoy it better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,550 Editorials Team · Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Not sure there is one. I watch a lot of movies, and I don't generally go out of my way to play movie games. And I got to go see Goldeneye in the theater for my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox | 1,668 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Solid platformer from Irem. Apparently it is based on an obscure direct to video movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,550 Editorials Team · Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Oh, I remembered one: The Italian Job on PS1 by Rockstar, based on the old Michael Caine movie. I still have yet to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenEye was the first thing that i thought of as well. I probably had seen the movie, but the game came out a couple years later and i would have forgotten the movie. At any rate, the game occupied SO MUCH of my time, that now when i watch the movie i only think about the game. So not exactly what you were asking, but an anomaly of its own! another answer that doesn't really answer your question, Top Gun. I don't know that i ever "fell in love" with the game, but i played it a ton as a kid. usually at friends' houses and we would take turns trying to land the damn plane. Didn't even know it was based on a movie until a few years later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp1nz | 613 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Alien Trilogy, as there's no way I had seen Alien 1-3 when I was 8-9 years old, but I had seen a lot of movies and even some gory ones that my older brother showed me (like Hellraiser), so having seen one Alien movie prior is in the realm of possibility but I think even that happened many years later. Very atmospheric FPS to boot and I won't ever forget the Facehugger effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,517 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Gotcha for NES (yeah, it was movie based, an obscure thriller from 1985 with Anthony "Goose" Edwards.) My cousin actually rented it, as he had the Zapper. Didn't precisely love it, but it was pretty neat to play such a different Zapper game when you were used to Duck Hunt and Wild Gunman. I've seen parts of the movie, but I can't remember if I ever saw it all the way through. But it was years after we played the game, like at least ten or more.

As far as the question goes, I played Goldeneye before I saw the movie, so I'll go with that. I also like the Taito version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for the NES, but I saw the movie before I played the game.

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Some of these are actually TV shows, so it's a bit off-topic, but I'm a rebel like that. Chip N' Dale (NES): Apparently this show aired on the Disney Channel and I didn't have cable as a kid, so I suspect I fell in love with the game first. I probably saw some episodes at daycare or at friends' houses later on, but the game definitely holds a lot more nostalgia for me than the show. Duck Tales (NES): According to Wikipedia, this show aired in syndication, so I probably I watched it and played the game at the same time. That seems to fit with my memory since I have a lot of love for the show and game. Easily one of my all-time favorite NES games. Top Gun (NES): I probably played the first level of this game about a hundred times and crash landed on the carrier on at least 90 of those attempts. To this day, I'm not sure that I've ever watched the whole movie. Robin Hood (NES): I think this game is criminally underappreciated. The action RPG stuff is a lot of fun and there is a decent amount of story stuff taken directly from the movie. The biggest frustration is the horse riding. I've definitely seen the movie a few times and it's decent, but I really like the game. Dick Tracy (NES) I never quite got the hang of this game, but I could usually put a couple bad guys behind bars before running out of lives. I think the action platformer parts are pretty fun even if the driving parts tend to be annoying. I eventually saw the movie, but the game is where it's at for me.

The movie is actually pretty good as long as you don't go into it with high expectations - and keep in mind when it was made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
