Actually there are graphical retro remakes of a large number of games with
film licenses, including starwars, batman and indiana jones.
of course, these are all free. Probably if you wanted to make a commercial
game things could get quite sticky financially.
Btw, I've never played the eT! game myself, but there is an amusing urban
myth about it.
The company who produced the game expected it to sell through the roof, so
made 100000 copies. However, because (as Tom said), it was such a generic
and easy game and generally not too well put together, less than 10000
copies were sold.
So, what to do with the other 80000 or so coppies?
Apparently, they were taken out to a disused cquarry somewhere in the desert
in nevada and berried!
I love the thought of some future archaeologist finding 80000 copies of the
eT game. "hmmmm, was this a votive offering to the frog god of the 20th
century?" :D.
Of course, this is an urban myth and so likely might not be true, but it's
an amusing thought even so.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
