10 Movies You Never Knew Had Their Own Video Game
3. White Men Can't Jump
1992 sports comedy White Men Can't Jump was a solid critical and commercial success, but few could've anticipated that anyone would attempt making a video game out of it.
But studio High Voltage Software did just that with their very first game, which released three years after the movie and adapted the street basketball comedy into - shocker! - a street basketball game.
Sadly the licensing more-or-less ends with the title, as neither Wesley Snipes nor Woody Harrelson got anywhere near this, and it really boils down to just being an aggressively lazy take on video game basketball.
Developed exclusively for the Atari Jaguar and largely accepted to be one of its worst titles, White Men Can't Jump is basically just a poor man's NBA Jam, mechanically-speaking.
It's easy to picture publisher Atari looking at a list of commercially successful recent movies and just throwing a dart, leading them to figure that fans of the movie were hankering for a game. That they were not, as it quickly faded away without a trace.
