Two industries as giant as film and video games had to intersect at some point, and in fact it is something that happened a long time ago when video games began to attract attention in the market. Taking into account this attractive mix, we wanted to collect some of the most interesting games that you can play today on all kinds of platforms.
When the film becomes game
If using 3 ¼ floppy disks brings back fond memories, you’re bound to remember gems like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade , a Lucasarts graphic adventure inspired by the Indiana Jones adventures where we had to solve a lot of puzzles and riddles with a motor that dominated in those years: SCUMM.
Games like this confirmed that taking the narrative exposed in the movies and taking it to video games was a very good idea, so many games on this theme came to light, some with more success than others. The world of video games has continued to evolve by leaps and bounds, and now the story has much more weight, the controls have multiplied, and the graphic effects can be equaled by the film itself.
