Awesome thread! I am glad there are plenty of 80s babies/kids here.

I remember when the first TMNT game came out on the NES and I was so into Quantum Leap. I wrote a letter to Ultra Games telling them that it would be amazing if they created a Quantum Leap platformer game where you were doing quests and leaping to new levels.
Even though I was 10 when I came up with this, I would love to see a modern Quantum Leap game with Al and Sam.

Not action films but I'd love to explore Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal. I think Brian Froud is still around. Hire him to some new designs. Third person adventure. Puzzle elements. Big story emphasis.

That would be one of the best twists in video game history if the internet doesn’t spoil it.

Damn, I didn't anticipate that this thread will suddenly make me wanna watch a bunch of 80s movies, lol.
Fuck it, I'm watching Rambo 2 tonight. I haven't seen Firefox in a loooong time either, so it's time for a refresher. Love that movie too.

Plenty of good suggestions. I'd also like to see some of the Asian action of the '80s or thereabouts get represented too. I'm not sure how they'd translate, but Hong Kong cinema titles have been mined for content less than it should IMO (albeit individual moves and designs from these movies do get ripped off constantly...)
A great Jackie Chan movie game never got made, for instance, though there were a few decent tries with eponymous Jackie games. Somehow we never got Police Story: The Video Game, which maybe is a shame. (I say "maybe" because Jackie works best just because he's actually insane enough to be Jackie.)
The Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest catalog also don't have any titles in video game form by my count, even though their style of action and character designs are the foundation of so damned many games! We never got a Five Deadly Venoms game, never a Fist of Fury or Drunken Master or Golden Swallow game, we never got a Cynthia Rothrock or Sammo Hung game (but we did get Jet Li: Rise to Honor,) Crippled Masters would have been an intriguing co-op game back when that kind of exploitation could fly, I don't know if the Flying Guillotine was ever stolen as a game prop (kind of Kung Lao?) much less made into a game... I can name countless games which ripped off this kind of stuff (Street Fighter alone owes some pretty pennies to Run Run's company,) but the actual brands never got their proper due in pixels.
(*There was the Sega CD FMV game Supreme Warrior filmed on Shaw Brothers sets, but aside from that, I can't think of or find a game based on Shaw titles; let me know me if I'm wrong?)

Most of the 80s stuff that I would want has been named so I'll go with some 90s movies.
That is pretty much it for me. My 80s wish list was Big trouble in little China, neverending story, gremlins, and I've forgotten the rest.
surf ninjas
double dragon based off the movies
double impact
Jackie Chan( I'm just not sure how I would like this done though)
black mask
3 ninjas
