Just look at the Nintendo Entertainment System\u2019s library and see blunder\u00a0after unfortunate blunder on one of the most beloved systems to date: <em>Back to the Future, The Karate Kid, Jaws, Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/em><em>\u2026<\/em>\u00a0The list goes on and on and even many current titles that are born from the big screen fail to capture the same imagination and fun that was created with their movie counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>But we&#8217;re feeling a little generous today and want to give a few titles a\u00a0second chance. After all, if <em>Friday the 13th<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Spider-Man<\/em>\u00a0can be successfully released nowadays, what&#8217;s stopping any of the other movie flops from the past?\u00a0So, without further ado, we start this\u00a0story of redemption in the green scenery of Sherwood Forest.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Originally NES and Game Boy)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robinhood02.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5461\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/robinhood02.gif?resize=240%2C170\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a>Although it&#8217;s been seven years since\u00a0the most recent <em>Robin Hood\u00a0<\/em>movie and the next film isn&#8217;t set to release <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/816457-first-set-photos-of-taron-egerton-as-robin-hood#\/slide\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">until 2018<\/a>, we think it&#8217;s time to give the merry men another shot to steal\u00a0our hearts. Open-world, action adventure games are all the rage right now and there&#8217;s so many possibilities with this franchise that it would be a shame\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0to explore a video game adaptation. The title could easily be a mix between <em>Thief<\/em> and <em>Skyrim\u00a0<\/em>where the player would have to complete various missions using only their wits, reflexes, and bow. The more missions completed, the more your prestige grows\u00a0with various big bosses looking to make more than a couple handfuls of extra coin and the more you\u2019re able to give back to the poor. Archery challenges could be littered throughout the game and recruiting the merry men one by one would be key in finally taking on the game&#8217;s final boss. If nothing else, developers could at least try to make a <em>Payday<\/em> clone where you can team up with a squad of people to steal money from the rich as they ride through the forest. Throw in the humor from <em>Robin Hood: Men in Tights<\/em>\u00a0and I think we&#8217;ve got a winner on our hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Terminator\u00a0(Originally NES)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/terminator-nes-screenshot.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5460\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/terminator-nes-screenshot.png?resize=256%2C224\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/terminator-nes-screenshot.png?w=256&amp;ssl=1 256w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/terminator-nes-screenshot.png?resize=150%2C131&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a>With the franchise&#8217;s last iteration showing in 2015 and rumors that Arnold Schwarzenegger will again team up with original director\u00a0James Cameron, it&#8217;s as good a time as any to actually let the big guy come back. Although <em>The Terminator<\/em> has already been added to the myriad <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcasino.io\/casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">casino games<\/a> out there alongside\u00a0fellow\u00a0film classic <em>Jurassic Park\u00a0<\/em>at Bitcasino.io, why not bring the robot back for the rest of us playing consoles? For this title we thought it might be best to stick to the retro roots and leave it as a top-down shooter. It would then be up to the player to manoeuvre protagonist Kyle Reese through futuristic levels filled with Skynet&#8217;s terminators. Throw in a dark, synthy soundtrack from game composer Disasterpeace and make sure the aesthetics match and you&#8217;ve got yourself the perfect <em>Terminator<\/em> throwback title.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jaws (Originally NES)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/jaws774.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5459\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/jaws774.png?resize=256%2C224\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/jaws774.png?w=256&amp;ssl=1 256w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/jaws774.png?resize=150%2C131&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a>Okay, so <em>Jaws\u00a0<\/em>is a franchise that&#8217;s been quiet for 30 years now. But you know what&#8217;s been making plenty of noise in its absence? Virtual Reality (VR) gaming. And there&#8217;s been plenty of developers\u00a0trying to cash in on the concept of swimming with and fighting these great white menaces. The only problem is that most of them just are just missing that spark, that unique trait that makes them great. <em>VR Shark,\u00a0<\/em>for example, has a <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.dw.sharkVR&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3.6 out of 5 rating<\/a> on the Google Play Store. If you put players in the recognizable <em>Orca<\/em> from the movie and surround them with the characters they grew to love, we think the storyline mixed with the nostalgia would be enough to please anybody.\u00a0This title would most likely work best as a single-player experience in the same vein as <em>Alien: Isolation<\/em> &#8211; a game meant to scare the hell out of you while keeping you helplessly hooked. And if the developers take any cues from the original movie, it might be best to add in a way to upgrade the ship as it&#8217;s always a good idea to have access to a bigger boat.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s our list, but what did we leave out?
