10 Books That Would Make Great Video Games

10. Treasure Island By Robert Louis Stevenson

Pirate adventure games are always a lot of fun; LucasArts' Monkey Island proves that. We have seen countless great pirate romps over the years, and Treasure Island would easily fit into this same level of swashbuckling fun. The original novel is an absolute classic and has seen a significant amount of adaptation in its lifetime. With so many chances to come alive through the medium of film, TV and theatre, there is no reason that its most iconic adaptation couldn't be a video game.

There are plenty of directions the game could take. Whilst being an iconic story, the narrative of the book is not so dense that it would require a one-lane approach. There is a tonne of potential for an open-world setting that allows the player the freedom to explore the island gathering the titular treasure and interacting with the other crew members of the Hispaniola.

This property has a legacy of being one of the most well known in the literature world, garnering acclaim from audiences of all ages. This game would be a chance to tell this story in an entirely new and unpredictable way.
