With the diverse forms of media that exist today, many of our favorite characters and titles have crossed over from their original sources into new forms that offer exciting possibilities. This process dates back many years to stage plays adopting from novels and short stories with all forms eventually feeding into the movie industry. Since the rise of arcade games and gaming consoles in the 1970s and 1980s, video games have enjoyed one of the most enduring relationships with movies, providing popular, mainstream characters and stories to be adapted for the silver screen.
