What It Should Have Been: A rip-roaring adventure as Indiana Jones avoids large boulders, whips the hell out of things and is basically a slick as can be. What It Actually Was: The first ever video game licensed from a movie, which says it all really. Just look at the screenshot above. Can you tell where Indy is? Believe it or not, he's the yellow thing in the middle, and though all games must be considered contextually, this game has the added bonus of being an absolute slog to play. It just isn't fun, especially when you have to hunt for the randomly-placed Ark in the later stages of the game. The worst thing about this game is that it's just so damn hard to work out what the hell you're looking at. Objects don't even remotely resemble their real life counterparts, and I doubt most players have the patience to figure this monstrosity out in this day and age. Are there any surprisingly awful movie video games I missed? Sound off below!
