What 80's Movies Would Make Great Games Today?

Ghostbusters is looking better and better everyday thanks to the current technology so what other 80's franchises would benefit from today's consoles? I think a first person Rambo would be great with incredible graphics and stealth elements. Also Friday the 13th could be a great horror game.

The Road Warrior/ Mad Max

Now that I think about it...why hasn't this happened yet?

Aliens, which thankfully is being made and hopefully will do the movie justice, and the original Terminator. Cameron RULES.

commando is cinematic brilliance :P it could be gaming brilliance as well. play as arnold with his superhuman strength, cat-like grace, endless ammunition, outragious villains, and one liners that are so cheesy and in such bad taste that it would make possibly the greatest game of all time.

That's easy. Blade Runner!

EDIT>> oh yeah, and Escape from New York

That's easy. Blade Runner!

That's a really good choice actually, probably would make a fantastic game if done right.

OH yeah. Breakfast Club. Big Trouble in Little China.

Both would be awesome in a game on next gen consoles8)

I'm thinking The Shining or My Bloody Valentine would make Horror-Survival games.

I never played it but I remember seeing a trailer for it.

Anyone remember an old movie called "Band of the Hand"? It was about these gang members and out of control kids who instead of going to prison ended up going to survival bootcamp in the Florida Everglades and being trained to fight drug dealers by some ex-marine. That would make an interesting game imo.

Ghostbusters, Back To The Future, Indiana Jones.

Also Friday the 13th could be a great horror game.

Back to the Future (I know there were a few sucky action games made of the series, but there should have been a point-&-click adventure game instead).Cherokee_Jack

I think it would make a great open world game. Drive around in the Deloreon or on your hover Board. Get into fights with Biffs future grandson and his gang. And dont forget about the QTE's involving riding alongside Younger Biffs car as you try and retrieve the sports trivia guide. Totally Radical!

Oh and My pick for 80's game would be Repo Man. The flying car segments would rule!

I can't believe no one has mentioned Robocop yet.

Back to the Future
Aliens
Blade Runner
Escape from New York
Indiana Jones

Teen Wolf. No, wait, that woud be terrible...

I'd like to see a revamped Beetlejuice game.

RED DAWN. Make it already. Closest thing we have is Freedom Fighters, which is good but old.

STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!

errrr....

......

...

One of the Gremlins;I remember the game for NES was very good.

A couple Arnie flicks.

Commando. Need I say more. Also I should probably see that movie again cause I need some one liners.

The other movie is where Arnold is part of a game show where he and a few others keep fighting these weird bosses. Somebody knows what I'm talking about.

Two more awesome and creepy movies:

The Lost Boys and The House on Sorority Row

and a third not the movie just the title.

Cemetery Girls? ha ha ha No movie was ever made by that title these three went by the title at some time or other.

Dracula's Last Great Love, Vampire Hookers, and The Velvet Vampire.

I love the name and it could make a cool game especially if it had nothing to do with any of those lame movies.

Speaking of arnold films ( at least I think you guys were) how about that Predator movie? I think it could translate pretty well into a game. maybe even have like a 4way co-op mode.

Gremlins, if they done it right it could be awesome.

That horror film with the Jason guy..

Road House

Bladerunner

Mad Max

Aliens

The Karate Kid could make a pretty decent fighter. And Saving Private Ryan could be a fantastic first person shooter.

I'd like to see an open-world The Terminator game in the style of Hitman. You know you want it. Silent-Hal

I know I do.

The Goonies!
