Robin Harbron's Classic Computers and Video Games

Sorry I disappeared for so long folks - I was actually getting paid to do C64 programming and other related duties. Wow! And I was trying to do that and still hold on to my real job, and have my kids still recognize me ("Mommy, who's that man that's always in our basement?") so blogging lost out. That top-sekrit C64 job is (temporarily?) over, so now I can play around with a few other things.

I've now got that formerly-thought-lost C64 game "Blockade Runner" running in VICE from a .g64 image. I've made some progress in de-protecting it, and hope to release it soon.

I think I've decided to just skip the 2004 Minigame Compo this year - I've got a great idea that I think I could have won with, but there just isn't the time in the next 6 days to do it justice. Someone else can hold the trophy this year :)

I woke up this morning thinking about movies that were officially made into C64 games, and did some searching, and found some related threads over at the Lemon64.com forums. It doesn't seem like anyone's put together a definitive list, so I've done my best to piece together all the people's suggestions below.

So, all you bored readers out there, use Gamebase 64 and Internet Movie Database and find me some games that aren't on the list, or games listed that shouldn't be.

I only want games that are directly tied in (and licenced) with the film. The game based on the Batman movie is fine, but other Batman games aren't, because they're based on the comics. Wizard of Oz (the game) doesn't count, because it's based on the original (now, public domain) book. Got it? Thanks!

P.S. I don't have time now, but I suspect Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Frankenstein games listed should be kicked off.
