10 Movies You Never Knew Had Their Own Video Game

Surely the only Best Documentary Oscar winner to ever get its own video game, 2005's March of the Penguins is a beautiful, Morgan Freeman-narrated nature documentary that was inexplicably adapted into a Game Boy Advance game the very next year.

March of the Penguins is effectively a Lemmings rip-offs re-skinned with penguins: you play as basically God (no, not Morgan Freeman sadly) and must help a parade of penguins march their way to safety.

Except unlike Lemmings, there's no risk of death and the levels are so thoroughly bland as to drain most possibility of fun. Numerous review outlets criticised the game for being too difficult for children but too boring for adults, which puts it in the dead zone of appealing to basically nobody.

Publisher Skyworks Interactive clearly took one look at the film's $127.4 million worldwide box office and assumed the game couldn't fail, but alas, it sank like a stone both critically and commercially.
