Games adapted from movies are a common feature of the videogame landscape and have been since close to to the dawn of of the medium. It’s more unusual to come across a game that’s based on a novel. But book-to-videogame adaptations are less uncommon than I realized— until I made a list of pnly a partial sampling.
