With both Barbie and Oppenheimer breaking box office records this past weekend, I think it’s safe to say that we’re in middle of the summer movie season. When I think about blockbuster movies, I can’t help but be reminded of all those films from the 1980s and 90s that were adapted to Nintendo Entertainment System, even when it made absolutely no sense. With so many crummy movie games out there taking up space, I started to wonder what Electronic Gaming Monthly thought of them back in the day. And more importantly, which movie games they considered to be the best of the best.

In case you’re curious, EGM reviewed a total of twenty 8-bit games that were based on movies. There were more on the Game Boy, but for this list we’re going to focus solely on the console games, all of which ended up being on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Perhaps knowing how bad most movie games are, EGM wisely skipped over a lot of the more questionable titles, like Platoon, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Hudson Hawk, which was apparently big enough to put on the cover, but not big enough to review. What we’re going to do today is count down the best and worst 8-bit movie games using Electronic Gaming Monthly’s own words and scores. There’s no editorializing here, we’re going to focus on what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, go and grab the biggest, saltiest, butteriest tub of popcorn and enjoy the show, because this is EGM’s Top 20 Movie Games (8-Bit Edition).
