Video Games are a medium that can easily be adapted from a book or comic series. Typically, to gain a mainstream audience a book is adapted into a movie. A less common occurrence is when a book is adapted straight into a game. These were common in the late 1980s and early 1990s when graphical computer games were becoming popular. | |

The Coraline video game is a rare example of a game adapted from both the book and the film it is based on. It also predates the animated movie's release by a week. | |

The Cat in the Hat had a game to go with the live-action movie version. While the movie is not considered to be all that good, some versions of the game are actually pretty good. | |

The Discworld books have had a few games based on them: a Text Adventure based on The Colour of Magic, two Rincewind-centric games that took elements from multiple books, and Discworld Noir, which had an original protagonist and storyline. (There still haven't been any big-screen films yet, just TV movies.) | |

In 2010, Dante's Inferno was produced as an action-adventure game. The weird part is that the tie-in novel... was the actual 700-year-old epic poem, just with branding and art from the game. | |

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction got a Recursive Adaptation comics miniseries released simultaneously with the video game, creating an ambivalent example. Like the Ultimate Spider-Man example, it was supposed to be comic-book canon but didn't end up fitting properly. | |
