MSTed movies that would make good video games

[ChrisDalek]

Was watching Escape 2000 last night and found myself longing to plug in a controller and start blasting at the silver guys. The storyline and settings just seemed to have so much video game potential, and Crow even makes a riff at one point about Strike being "in god mode with unlimited ammo", so I got to thinking about other MST movies that could potentially make for a decent game.

Space Mutiny could be fun, letting you take control of either Slab Bulkhead or Kalgan to determine the Galactica's fate. Spaceship battles, ground combat, dodgem chase, it's all good game material.

With a little tweaking some of the spy flicks could also become games (there already is a Diabolik game, in fact) and there must be a truck driving simulator that could be adapted into a Riding with Death game.

The Creeping Terror could become a simple little mobile game where you control the monster and just go around gobbling people up, all while the party music plays.

The Godzilla movies have received several video games so Gamera definitely deserves one. Devil Fish and Gorgo could also put you in control of the monster.

The Rocky Jones universe might be a fun place to go; has there been a video game set in a retro 50s sci-fi rocketship universe?

The Starfighters could become an exceptionally dull flight sim, and Racket Girls a equally dismal wrestling game.

Losing the sleaze factor and the depressing cameos Angels Revenge might make for a good game, where you get to control a different Angel each mission. There's certainly enough action to make it a possible.

Also; Red Zone Cuba The Game. The most depressing Grand Theft Auto.

Any others?

Hmmm...

Really, nearly any MSTed movie can be turned into a game.

In "The Beatniks", you basically run rampant through the L.A. area, earning points for every fat barkeep you kill. In "High School Big Shot", you have to avoid all sorts of obstacles (bullying jock, duplicitous co-ed, harsh teacher) in order to reach the safe, crack it, and escape. In "Radar Secret Service", you try to get away with the goods while avoiding the omnipresent RADAR. And in "Skydivers", you earn points for every parachute you sabotage and every cup of coffee you drink.

As for the shorts, I'll have to think that over.

Teenagers From Outer Space would have made good typical fodder for an 80s NES game, LJN-style. Running around town trying to collect items from places like the swimming pool or the college, avoiding the other aliens that are also running around trying to catch you, etc

The Final Sacrifice-You could play as Troy or Rasdower in an adventure type game where you fight the cult and try and find clues, each level ending with a fight with a boss. (We’d have to make up a couple of new characters) The final battle would be against Satoris.

Out of This World could make for one of those moral choice type games, as you play the bread delivery guy making his deliveries around town while being torn between good and evil.

Junior Rodeo Daredevils The Video Game never woulda happened without that old timer Billy Slater.

Catching Ross, obviously.

I think Zombie Nightmare would have been a good game. Playing as zombified Tony and killing all the punk teens.

I'd have a guilty pleasure killing Jim.

Bloodlust would make a good open sandbox adventure game. Explore an uncharted isle, including a sprawling old mansion therewith. Gather/plunder weapons and supplies, then hunt down a crazed game hunter before he hunts you.

Manos The Hands of Fate actually had an excellent video game some years back, it was released for smart phones but was not updated to work with the new operating system. Thankfully it was released for PC. It is very hard, but a lot of fun (lots of MST3K references): store.steampowered.com/app/350780/MANOS/

And of course, new Crow did a let's play of that game with the Game Grumps during the Kickstarter finale marathon. I can't find a copy of the video online though.
