Unfortunately the NES adaptation of Rocketeer wasn't up to par, but that was almost always the case with movie adaptation games.
I seriously wonder: now that...
* we have the tech
* we love nostalgia
* big cos like to bet on established stuff
...why don't they make new AAA games out of old movies?
Seriously, imagine what a modern-day BTTF game would be like. Or Sean Connery's 007.
The only examples I recall that were made were Ghostbusters and Godfather...any others?
