Submarines! Gentlemen and brutes! Giant squids! How hasn€™t an engrossing video game adaptation of this live-action Disney classic been made yet? How to do it: Look to the latest iteration of Sid Meier€™s Pirates! for inspiration.

This game would have to culminate with a boss battle against that infamous giant squid where your only weapon is a harpoon. Otherwise, what's the point?
