I would take choice B. A direct translation of most games into a movie fails, since video games use a different narrative structure. It's like trying to convert a TV show into a movie. In general, such adaptions cover a specific facet of the story (such as the Star Trek movie). It's generally impossible to fit a long and convoluted plot into a movie without the movie sucking ass.

Option B. I'M MAKING ME SOME MONEEEEEEEEEEEEEY

I don't care if I ruin my own fandom. I'm selfish. I see no problem with people wringing things out to make profits coz I'd do exactly the same ;D

I have no idea how I would even make a movie based off of Tecmo Bowl. I would have to make some changes to the script here and there. Not many, but some hardcore fans would probably notice.

Mainly it would involve intergalactic pirate monkeys (not really monkeys they just call themselves that) fighting against the cybernetic forces of Helicopter 9, while Eugene Picklefeather competes in an arm wrestling tournament in order to gain the love and respect of his daughter. While also trying to win back the son that he lost during a crooked game of Rock Paper Scissors. At the same time reuniting the rulers of the monkeys and Helicopter 9 who are really just scorn lovers and the split personalities of Eugene's son.

Greatest. Movie. Ever.

B. My favorite game is Oblivion so I kinda need to add a story. And I want my money.

Option F: FALCON PUNCH!!!

I second, third and fourth this one.

 

[Fightgarr]

I don't think I could do justice to my favorite games... any of them.
Final Fantasy Tactics would require too much story and would need action or people would get bored. Chrono Cross would be way too convoluted or most people to understand. I'm not even touching Grim Fandango with a movie prod.

 

[ArcWinter]

I would make the main plot of oblivion, or half-life. But it would be in FULL TIME, so nothing would be cut. And my market would be narrowed CONSIDERABLY. But it would be so awesome it'd kill anyone who didn't watch it within a 1-mile radius. BAM!

Pass. I refuse to be known as the guy who completely murdered his own favorite video game by turning it into a movie.
