Movie or TV based arcade games, name them.
I was wondering how many movie or even TV based arcade games have there been?
I know there are a crap load of pins based on movies/TV and console games thrive on film/TV material. But how many actual arcade games have been made and solely based on movies and or TV shows. And for submissions to count, no movies based on previous games . So games like Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Brothers etc. wouldn't count. I know some titles would be hard to dispute because they might have been based more so on original material prior to the movies such as Aliens vs. Predator, Superman, X-men, Spawn and any other comic related titles.
So as long as the game was released after or around the same time as the movie it makes the list.
The only titles I can think of so far are:
Star Wars
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Aliens
Tron
Jurassic Park
vs. Goonies
Terminator 2
Robocop
Krull
Star Trek
Star Trek: Voyager
Willow
GI Joe
The Real Ghostbusters (based on the animated series rather than the movie)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (based on the cartoon)
The Simpsons
The Simpsons Bowling
Die Hard
Rambo III
I know there is mention of a possible Godzilla and there are gobs of anime based titles like Gundam and Pokemon.
What else?
