In retrospect its kind of strange they made a video game based on Gilligan's Island in 1990
>>12152674Why? They made Flintstones and Jetsons games.>but those are cartoons!They also made a Mission Impossible game and a Three Stooges game
>>12152685Out of these Mission Impossible seems the weirdest since I don't remember it even being on constant reruns like Gilligan, Flintstones, Jetsons and the Stooges
>>12152685>>12152690Mission Impossible isn't based on the original series from 66-73, it's based on the second series from 88-90
>>12152685True but Flintstones and Jetsons at least appeal to kids as a cartoon. The character designs were still colorful and charming enough to bring in early 90s kids. Gilligan's Island only would have been appealing to nostalgic Baby Boomers in their 30s and 40s.
>>12152725I'm sure kids were watching reruns of it in the 80s. ALF even had a whole episode that featured cameos from the characters. It was a goofy, campy show that definitely appealed to kids as well as adults.
>>12152674>>12152685Japan got all of the Spy VS Spy games that America didn't.
>>12152674Culture didn't move as fast pre-internet so a lot of old tv shows like that were still known to kids in the 80s and early 90s.
Oh look, it's this thread again.
>>12152756Today there's so much content that young people probably have no idea how much of TV used to be just re-runs. I grew up watching all the same shows that my Boomer parents watched when they were young.
>>12152674Not really when you realize that Gen X watched reruns of it on black and white TVs.The world was radically different. There was a short time there where Gen X and The Silent Gen had more in common than anyone.
>>12152674gilligans islandi dream of jeanieMASHBetwitchedAll in the Familyon tv ever day in the afternoon. This was up till the 90s in my area
>>12152694Tonight on Biography...
>>12152674pure nick-at-nite core
>>12152760It's a rerun
FYI OP, a "rerun" is like when Netflix uploads an old show, but on TV.
>>12152924Apparently Nick-at-Nite is still running and airing old shows. Do not look at the lineup if you don't want to feel old.
>>12152725Flintstones and Jetsons were common airings on Cartoon Network back in the early/mid 90s, same thing with Wacky Races. Even as a kid at the time, it didn't strike me as odd to see NES games based on those properties.
>>12152958I remember how it didn't feel odd to me to see Fresh Prince and Roseanne on NAN during the 2000s, despite those shows being "only" ~15 years old. Nowadays I couldn't imagine something from the 2010s being considered old enough to be NAN fodder.
>>12152893MASH and All in the Family are legitimately great shows. Never watched the rest, but I get the impression that they're campy boomer shit.
>>12152674Nostalgia always comes 30 years apart. In the 90s it was all about the 60s, in the 2000s everything was 70s-inspired. Gilligan NES was a nostalgia ploy
>>12152674Gilligan reruns were on about as much as Scooby Doo>>12152737Hanna Barbera did quite well for itself in the 80s and its older cartoons came back. The Jetsons even got a few new seasons.>>12152893And The Brady Bunch. That shit was on all the time>here's a story>about a man named Bradyhow bout here's a story called shut the fuck up
>>12153342The MASH series finale was considered THE biggest television event of all time, and even now reruns of it are few and far between because it's that much of a sacred cow.
Shows like Gilligan's island was still doing pretty well in reruns back then and referenced all the time, zoomie. Kinda like Full house in the 2000s
>>12153779i loved this game
>>12153779Funny how this of all things got a GBA port.
>>12153804ps1 as well in like 2002
>>12152751Uhh, hello can I get through to the kino office?
>>12152751Makes sense. No dialogue means easy international appeal.
>>12152674It's also a pinball in 1991
The pre-social media world was slower-paced, people could enjoy old things without questioning or having existential dilemmas.
>>12152764>reruns of it on black and white TVsGilligan's Island and other shows from the 50's and 60's had daily afternoon reruns until the late 80's-early 90's, well after even the poorest ghetto niggers got color TVs.
>>12153779three stooges should have been a three player side scrolling beat em up but you use slapstick to beat the bad guys
>>12153856Having your own personal TV was rare as a kid so you'd be happy with a b&w.
>>12152674Not really. Gilligan's Island was all over TV reruns.
>>12152674I love this game and it was my favorite show as a kid.
>>12152725In the 80s and 90s, we watched what our parents and grandparents watched.
>>12152685>Why? They made Flintstones and Jetsons games.>>but those are cartoons!The Jetson's actually had a revival in 1985. The first season was 1962, but Hanna-Barbera later produced two more seasons between 1985-1987 so they could have enough episodes for a syndicated run. On top of that, there was an animated movie released to theatres in 1990. The Jetson's was still on TV by 1993. Flintstons was always in syndication and re-runs.>>12152685>Mission Impossible game>>12152694>Mission Impossible isn't based on the original series from 66-73, it's based on the second series from 88-90This. It was based on the late 80's series. >>12152685>Three Stooges game The Three Stooges was a port of the Cinemaware PC game. There was also a Knight Rider game as well as a Airwolf game for the NES. Gilligans island was basically in non-stop re-runs by 1990. But it is still a weird license.
>>12154486>The Jetson's actually had a revival in 1985. The first season was 1962, but Hanna-Barbera later produced two more seasons between 1985-1987 so they could have enough episodes for a syndicated run. On top of that, there was an animated movie released to theatres in 1990. The Jetson's was still on TV by 1993.With the Jetsons, you know it's a season 2 (1985) or season 3 (1987) if Orbity is in the episode. HB added this character because of the popularity of Gizmo from the 1984 Gremlins movie. Also George has an AI computer screen that talks to him at work in these seasons.
Darkman was a weird NES licensed game. It really seemed like Ocean would just grab whatever licensed they could find. Though,they did manage to snag a few big ones, like like Jurassic Park.
>>12152756>Culture didn't move as fast pre-internet so a lot of old tv shows like that were still known to kids in the 80s and early 90s.I feel like culture advanced forward much faster back then. The internet really allows things to be 'frozen in time' for a lot longer than it use to be. Especially with youtube and other streaming sites. Styles don't evolve and change like they use to. The only thing that really moves forward is technology.

>>12154569Tonight Show with Jay Leno from 1995: https://youtu.be/QQezL9pLUN4If there is one thing that people remember from Gilligan's Island, it was the ear worm theme song.
>>12152751Were the Japanese even familiar with Mad?
>>12152674Not really, since they showed reruns every day on major cable channels.
>>12152674>In retrospect its kind of strange they made a video game based on Gilligan's Island in 1990There were also Felix the cat, Rocky and Bullwinkle, adams family, and planet of the apes games for game boy and game boy color.The Felix game especially stands out to me since they made a 1990's video game adaptation for a 1920's cartoon character.>mutt and jeff game when?
>>12153749>Hanna Barbera did quite well for itself in the 80s and its older cartoons came back.They were even making new hits like Johnny Bravo right up until the studio died in 2001. Kinda strange that they went under anyways.
>>12153838
>>12152674No it's not. Old tv shows used to get broadcast all the time. Everyone knew who Gilligan was. Frankly it's weirder more shows didn't get a tie in game. Retarded zoom zoom.
>>12154537It was a pretty cool movie though
>>12154559You're both right in a way. It's weird. It's like the content is constantly changing with some new thing being hyped every week but the overall form has become more stagnant and less innovative.
>>12154486https://youtu.be/4IKuSUejfgII saw this movie in the cinema when I was a kid. And I did not think much of it as a movie. The animation was better than the TV sow, which is not saying much. But it was noteworthy for using a lot of CG/ rotoscoping. The 1985 TV show was OK. They did a good job making it look close to the 60's show. But it still has a lot more '80's' story tropes. John K. was one of he people who oversaw the storyboards.
>>12154972
>>12154919Addams Family had new and very successful movies at that time.
>>12155038Hanna Barbera style with actual budget is kind of strange (and kino).
>>12154919>There were also Felix the cat, Rocky and Bullwinkle, adams family, and planet of the apes games for game boy and game boy color.The first 3 were also on NES, and the last 2 were tie-ins to movies that came out around the same time as the games. Kill yourself.
>>12153847People still do that in the post social media world, god knows how many people are making Columbo jokes now.
>>12155494People always liked old TV and movies. It is only video games where you see seething about old stuff.
>>12154591Not sure. Back in the day, any kid's magazine could get a reprint of Spy VS Spy comics while not part of Mad.
The best license game for NES
>>12152725>outing yourself as a zoomer We watched a lot of reruns when we were kids.
>>12154537That movie is really underrated.
>>12156281That looks very cool.
>>12152725I was born in 88 and used to watch Gilligan’s Island as a kid. It was probably on Nick at Nite or something, it wasn’t hard to find on tv in the early 90s
>>12152725>I just don't get it, who'd want to watch an Addam's family movie in the early 90s? Why make one? It's a sitcom from the 60s, only boomers would watch this shit!
>>12154919There was a 1995 Felix cartoon series.
>>12154919>FelixHad a running animated series, as well as relatively recent movie>Rocky and BullwinkleStill reran and referenced everywhere>Addams familyReruns of 1960s series, a very successful movie in 1991 that got a sequel and the movie franchise only came to a screeching halt because Gomez's actor died, not to mention a Hanna Barbara animated series also running>Planet of the ApesWell known movie, referenced to hell and back even in the 90s, had a reboot in the early 2000sLet me guess, you're going to wonder why Mickey Mouse got video games in the 90s?
Don't be too hard on zoomers, they've been brainwashed to believe that all old things are racist and bad. Back in the day we actually regularly enjoyed old things just as much as new things.
>>12153768I don't think I've ever seen the finale but MASH definitely deserves its reputation.
>>12154537>It really seemed like Ocean would just grab whatever licensed they could find.That was literally their business model.They'd buy a film license on the cheap while it was not yet released and in production and pump out a game hoping that the film would do well and its success would transfer onto the game. Their Robocop games became a licence to print money but then they also released games based on complete duds like Cool World and Waterworld.
>>12157169>Their Robocop games became a licence to print money but then they also released games based on complete duds like Cool World and Waterworld.I think Ocean grabbed Cool World, because they thought it was going to be like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', which is a game that LJN had the license too and Rareware developed for the NES. To be honest, water World was projected to be a big box office hit, which wasn't the case. The movie ended up being a huge disaster at the box office. Ocean had the Addams Family License for the first two movies and the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series that only was on the air for a couple seasons. The Addams family games did really well for Ocean too. Jurassic Park was also a really good snag for Ocean.
reruns just started being a thing in the 70s/80s so a lot of old series got exposed to new audiences.
LJN = LJN made a business out of licensed games. I guess their parent company was likeMCA, which gave them access to all sorts of licenses. Sometimes they would get one right.Arena Games: A Division of LJN that was put into place to publish Sega console games, as a work around for Nintendo contract.OCEAN = UK Micro Computer developer, that published almost exclusively on Nintendo consoles. They just snagged whatever licensed they could. Sometimes successful. Sometimes not.Konami/ Ultra = I would say most of Konami's best licensed stuff is on their Konami NES Brand, and their secondary products with with Ultra. I think more licensed stuff was published under the Ultra name?Acclaim = Company that accumulated a lot of licenses. They even purchased LJN.Flying Edge = A Division of Acclaim that was created initially to publish games for Sega consoles. Due to the same Nintendo contracts. Flying Edge went away when Nintendo did change them with the SNES.TH-Q = Jack's new company after selling of LJN to Acclaim. It basically continues where LJN left off. They have released some pretty dad licensed games too. But adapted beater quality control.Virgin Interactive : Would pick up some weird licenses, like Cool Spot, Mc Donalds, The Terminator (only had the license for the first movie on consoles, BTW), Terminator vs Robocop, some Disney stuff.Absolute and Hi-tech Expressions = lesser known developers that used various licenses.Sega/ SOA = Sega published a lot of licensed games for movies, comics books.. for their own platforms.
>>12152674They made a game based on Dante's Inferno in 2010
>>12153779There was also a 3 Stooges arcade game
>>12152674I'm sure the reasoning was: cheap to license, instant brand recognition to differentiate our shovelware and give it visibility.
>>12153838>for amusement onlyThis is so they don't get into trouble with gambling shit, right?
>>12158074Yeah, old holdover. Not needed in any capacity after the 1976 case but y'know. 60s pinball machines didn't even have flippers and were absolutely just gambling so it was a thin workaround even then.
>>12153838All of the best pinball games from the 90's were based on licensed properties. Which is free advertising for the license holders and it draws normies in to check out the pinball table. That Gilligan's Island pinball machine probably did well in bar like settings or pool halls. One of my favorite pinball tables is the Terminator 2 one, which I had a chance to play a few times. The Addams Family Pinball that was based on the movie is a highly regarded machine. It get the impression that the board designers didn't care if they had to use a license, as long as they had designer control over the 'game board'.
>>12152674Used to watch this shit on TV Land all the time along with I Dream With Jeannie and Sally the Witch when i was in pampers.You boomers had it good back then.
>>12158591>Sally the Witch*BewitchedActually fun fact, see all those magical girl shows nips made? Bewitched was the root of them all.
>>12152685The Jetson game they made on the SNES is actually a shared reskinned Japanese title they put out for additional profit.
>>12156915The Addams Family also got a new sitcom in the late 90s. I mostly remember John Astin (the original TV's Gomez) dropping in for one episode as Grandpa Addams.
A modern-day warrior, mean, mean stride, today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride.
>>12159037You think this "helped" some kid write his book report?
>>12152993>Fresh Prince and Roseanne on NAN during the 2000sreally? i checked out after high school but they still showed black and white television then which was way far removed from 2007
>>12154510And Orbity is nowhere to been seen in the movie, but we have the gronies, because gremlins 2 just came out......the movie had some creepy bad shit that happened behind the scenes with George literally being a blind dying man brought over against best taste and literally died in the recording room! and of course Mel Blanc passed after the dialogue was record, and June foray got replaced with a one trick pony singer who wasnt even popular anymore at the time......And yet, i cant hate the movie....
>>12152993Isn't Nick at Nite full of Big Bang reruns now? They stopped rerunning Full House apparently, so that's an end of an era right there.
>wahh wahh why do you like 1930s films? it's old. that's old. why do you like something that's old? wahh wahh i can't watch black and white because it's old. anything that isn't new is bad because it's old
>>12159374i watched a black and white cuck film from '32 oncenot as bad as it sounds. it was black and white film, all the actors were white
>>12159339>And Orbity is nowhere to been seen in the movie, but we have the gronies, because gremlins 2 just came out......The movie was very 'mid' for me. The only things that stick out about it was the animation, an used Symbolics Workstations for the CGI sequences, which was a big deal for Hanna-Barbera as they wanted to integrate animation with CG. The GC looks so 'quaint' now. https://youtu.be/RQKlgza_HgE?t=104It seems to ignore the '1985 seasons' of The Jetsons'. Maybe they had the movie script kicking around for a long time? That's my best guess. the 1985 continuation ads 'side kick' character to the cast, Judy gets the talking lips (the diary) that sound like Joan Rivers. George gets an AI co-worker. Elroy gets Orbity. Apparently the animated hated Orbity and would try to hurt him in storyboards.
>>12154510Doesn't only Season 1 also have the famous ending scene of George walking Astro on the treadmill ("Jane, stop this crazy thing!")?
>>12159037There was a Tom Sawyer anime in the 80's. However outside of Japan, this game wasn't released in any country where the anime aired at the time.
>>12156392I was born in 1987, cuntrag. I watched plenty of reruns, but of cartoons, not black-and-white live-action shows.
>>12161106Ok, dork.
>>12152674What would be the equivalent today? Gilligan's Island came out in 1964, so for today that would be anything that came out around 1999.
>>12161412A new Spongebob game... wait a second...
>>12161416Yeah, almost everything popular from then is either still on the air or is getting a reboot/has recently been rebooted. Gilligan's Island only ran for 2 and half years, so it can't be something that ran for too long. I was thinking Malcom in the Middle or Everybody Loves Raymond (do people still watch this?)
>>12152674I was born in 1991 and it was not at all uncommon for me to watch shit like I Dream of Genie, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch and dozens of other shitty old shows. Any kid who grew up with Nick at Night in the late 90s/early 2000s will know the life. Mind you, it wasn't really a choice -- that's just what was on in the evening and there was nothing else to do, so I watched it. Things stayed culturally relevant a lot longer back then than they do now. A popular series could persist for literal decades in one form or another, whereas now people consume so much content, so rapidly, that things can be a worldwide sensation for a week and then utterly disappear.I also had the hots for Mary Ann Summers.
>thinly veiled /tv/ threadGood excuse to blow your mind.
>>12161412
>>12161412>What would be the equivalent today? Gilligan's Island came out in 1964, so for today that would be anything that came out around 1999.- The Sopranos - Futurama - The Tom Green Show- Sonic Underground- Relic Hunter- Ed, Edd and Eddy- Angel- Family Guy- Who wants to be a Millionaire?- Law & Order: Special Victims Unit- Sponge Bob Squarepants- Initial DAll of the above shows debuted in 1999. Not sure which would would fit the best in this situation?
>>12161614Initial D has a pretty solid series of arcade racers which I assume is still going.
>>12161614Maybe half of those had video games. Or are you a bot who can't understand what is being discussed?
>>12162123yeah, but do they still have games coming out today?
>>12159037Post that kid
>>12162292You're thinking of Square no Tom Sawyer.
>>12162304Really putting the nigger in Nigger Jim!
>>12152674Other than the meme that this is a Gilligan's Island game on the NES, I will just say that the game itself doesn't really seem all that bad, as far as licensed NES games go. I swear I saw this one on shelves in rental shops, but I never rented it. I look at the youtube playthroughs, and it is a overhead adventure game, with some exploration, and a lot of running around and collecting items for tasks while avoiding things. The game makes some attempt at imitating the source material. With Gilligan and the Skipper constantly talking back and forth to each other. It looks like an improvement over the shit-show of Dr. Jekyll & Mister Hyde, which was also a Bandai game.
>>12162682>that picThat's a shop. I can tell from some of the pixels and due to seeing quite a few shops in my time.
>>12163724>That's a shop. I can tell from some of the pixels and due to seeing quite a few shops in my time.Cardboard cut-out Picard in the front is great. Just posting some random licensed ads that I have on my desktop.
>>12161412Sliders came out in 95 and I think it could make for a sick game.
>>12153809post 2000 ps1 games fuck with me even when post ps3 ps2 games don't
>>12152674Nintendo made video games nonstop because people bought all that stuff back then
>>12158307never once saw the appeal of pinbal but i got a chance to try some on a whim at a con and was kind blown away by how fun they arei played a lotr and a godzilla one and a few otherswasn't expecting them to be so fun in a tactile sense, the physical feedback was really cool
>>12154510>>12159339damn, never really been into the jetsons but this is the first time i ever heard it had a movie even with browsing /co/ a ton
>>12161614>>12164172>Tom Green show>Sonic Underground>Relic Hunter>Angel>SlidersI feel like those don't necessarily have a healthy rerun scene now as Gilligan had in the 80s and 90sI'd say making a game based on 80s Columbo or something, that's an old show with a good bit of reruns and is still talked about and referenced in TV circles, and it could make a fine game.
>>12154972Fuck you but also good work
>>12161614Family Guy, hands down>reruns are the only reason why Adult Swim still exists >and its on 5 different channels now (FOX affiliates, Freeform, TBS, Comedy Central and Cartoon Network via Adult Swim)
>>12164620yeah, but family guy is still in active production
>>12164620>>reruns are the only reason why Adult Swim still existsIt's funny, because the original run of Adult Swim revitalized the popularity of Family Guy, after the show was canned by Fox. The ratings on Adult Swim were like phenomenal.
>>12154537Nothing weird about it, Batman and its games were pretty hot around that time, they saw something similar in Darkman (dark comic book adaptation movie that also ends with "man") and banked on kids buying it looking for something similar or clueless aunts buying it because they mistook it for Batman.
>>12154510>With the Jetsons, you know it's a season 2 (1985) or season 3 (1987) if Orbity is in the episode.The opening theme music is also different. The Season 2/3 intro has synth drums at the beginning that sound very 80s
>>12158595It's like how I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys made Asians lose their minds and led to the creation of k-pop.>>12161412Friends>>12156915>>12155392I have Rocky and Bullwinkle on Sega Genesis
> Only one Alf game made for home consoles> It's exclusive to the Sega Master System
>>12164829Alf was a contemporary show then, though
>>12164829>It's exclusive to the Sega Systemftfy
>>12161614they're literally right now making a Star Trek Voyager game.
>>12165381Yeah but Voyager is part of a franchise that's still ongoing (albeit in woke raped form)
>>12164820Friends is too old. I really don't think there's a modern equivalent to Gilligan's Island
Now I want a new Buffy game
>>12165859>Friends is still oldYet there's still hype around it, I went to a Friends experience in NYC a few months ago.
>>12152725Gilligan's Island is fucking rad. I was watching that shit as a 13-14 year old in the 2000's.
>>12161106Gilligan's Island was only black and white for the first season. The other 2 were both color.
>>12166217>I went to a Friends experience in NYC a few months ago.why?but yeah, I guess I can see where you're coming from. What are the chances someone makes a crappy friends tie in game in the next few years.
>>12166340The colour season's are the only two season's that I remember watching in re-runs back in the day. It's like TV stations didn't like the idea of airing black and white shows between the colour shows. Lots of shows had to shift over to colour in the mid 1960's.
>>12166435the first season was colorized for reruns, but I'm not sure if they always ran the colored versions of those episodes
>>12166435Yeah when color became standard black and white series/seasons got phased. Likewise when HD became standard SD tv shows from the past stop having reruns unless they got remastered.
>>12164829a game based on the Alf cartoon would have been better.
>>12166895>a game based on the Alf cartoon would have been better.To me Alf is far stranger on the SMS than Gilligan's Island on the NES. The NES outsold the SMS by like 40 to 1 . For like every 30 - 40 consoles sold in NA by 1990, one or maybe two of them might have been Sega Master Systems. Was it an exclusive that Sega snagged? https://youtu.be/M3-oIJlA0os?t=47
>>12166950The SMS has the best home port of the C64 Ghostbusters when compared to the NES game.
>>12152674It was definitely time of weird choices. I know in order to maintain copyrights the IP has to be used over time. Wonder of this was just made as a way to maintain that
>>12155017Netflix's way of putting the methods of mass production to TV shows has done immense damage to the industry. Why? Because previously, for TV stations to invest lots of time and money into producing a new show, it had to be a handpicked, absolutely the best idea they had at the time to pick between many. Now, it's sorta reversed - many, shitty ideas get effortlessly put to the screen thanks to CGI being cheaper and faster to produce than ever, while good ideas either disappear in the sea of mediocre (at best) or are completely mishandled by people who should never work in the industry (think the LOTR series, completely driven into the ground by "politically correct" propaganda taking place instead of a story).
>CGI>cheaper>fasterlmao kids are wild
