Films and Television shows into games

Linkdude, you are right. Those Home Alone games are bad. I played those NES emulators of those titles. The first one is hard and the Bandits are faster. The second one I couldn't even reach for the elevator. I played the SNES version of the second film and it is simpler but lacks the gameplay and inaccuracy of what was there and not there in the film. To be honest, the NES has plenty of those movie TV show games and wind up bad. Case in point: Back to the Future. The game was inaccurate to the film like the time machine, bowling balls, where people were or not there. Batman ought to be good series of games. All you do mainly without doing missions is beating up bad guys. Around the 16-bit era, Capcom and Sega were making these movie and TV show games, mainly Disney. Those Disney games were good in that era. Around the 32-64 bit era, there was not many games of TV and movie games but at least some were hits. The next generation had plenty of Nickelodeon and Disney games that do not even sell well, mainly those live action shows into games. EA has control of James Bond films and try to come up with a good game. I heard they might lose that license in a year or so. EA also took the old Simpsons license to make a game based on the upcoming film. What would happen if they screwed up? I mean, the film comes out July 27, 2007 and got enough time. The last time they had the license was for Road Rage, which is like Crazy Taxi. It is companies like Disney, THQ, and Nickelodeon who can't sell over 2 million copies of one game.
