Play Along with the Film! When gaming moved from the 16-bit era and into the exciting realm of 3D gameplay, Hollywood properties continued their journey into the interactive medium. Popular home and handheld consoles played host to ambitious titles that sought to bridge the gap between movies and video games, providing fans with scenarios that both replicated and went beyond their favorite stories. Gathered in this book are some of the biggest video games that originated from movies; some being direct adaptations and others that expanded existing universes.
