Everything Old Is New Again: Part 4 of 4

This week, the fourth and final segment in our series detailing which old movies would make good video games.

Gymkata
In Parmistan, there is only one law: The Game! Any player that survives the race across the country and through the City of Madness is allowed one request. This is why the United States government has commissioned Jonathan Cabot to infiltrate Parmistan and participate in The Race: they want him to request permission to place a U.S. installation within strategically-placed Parmistanian borders.

In this spiritual successor to Mirror’s Edge, guide Jonathan through the rugged landscape of parmistan, climbing cliffs, crossing ravines, and swimming rapids. Jonathan is constantly pursued by ninjas, and has to avoid wild animals and hunters with spears. As Jonathan gains experience, he can level up his endurance, agility, and strength via a series of olympic-themed training montages, including the parallel bars, balance beam, and rings.

At the game’s climax, Jonathan must navigate the walled City of Madness, dodging or battling its many criminally insane, pitchfork-wielding occupants.

Wizards
In this post-apocolyptic RPG, fairies, elves, and dwarves have re-appeared. Life is peaceful in the land of Montagar until a robot named Necron 99 appears and assassinates the president. As the wizard Avatar, you must lead your companions on a quest through the forest of the faeries and into the land of Scortch, where you will confront your evil brother Blackwolf and destroy his most powerful weapon: a Nazi film projector.

Waterworld Tower Defense
Your group of atoll dwellers has discovered the fabled map to dry land! But The Smokers have found out, and are planning to raid the atoll on their jet skis and gas powered boats. You must erect floating archer towers, catapult towers, and gun towers to fend them off. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner can help by swimming out underwater to deal with the invaders and steal their boats for use in defense. He can also reclaim gasoline from them so that you can build flame towers, which are powerful but have limited ammunition. If the invaders reach the atoll’s map to dry land, or Kevin Costner dies, the game is over.

Night of the Lepus
One that one horrible night, our worst nightmares all came true. Killer rabbits started slaughtering people throughout the American southwest, and we were helpless to stop them. Roy and Cole found it hard to believe, but before they knew it they were fending off rabbits as big and as fierce as wolves with nothing but a pair of shovels!

In this survival horror remake of the classic movie, defend small-town families against vicious hordes of rabbits, and conduct daring raids on their warrrens. When the Lepus expeditionary force outmanuevers the state militia and the town of Ajo comes under threat, Roy and Cole are the only ones with enough experience fighting the blood-thirsty rabbits to organize a defense.
