SF Books That Could Be Turned Into Video Games

This week on the radio show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me there was a segment that suggested classic books that would be turned into video games after noting that Dante’s Inferno was coming out soon. Here is a list of the ones they came up with.

• Don Quixote Kong
• A Hundred Years of Solitaire
• Pacman and the sea
• War and Peace but Mostly War
• Super Karamazov Brothers
• A Tale of Sim-cities
• Grand Theft Odyssey
• Pride and Extreme Prejudice
• Love in the Time of Tetris

But of course, I couldn’t help but think of some games based on classic science fiction. Read on to see what I came up with…

• Call of Dune
• Gears of the Forever War
• A Canticle for Zelda
• Roy Battymon Ruby

Ouch, OK those aren’t very good. But here’s your chance – can you do better? Here is the episode of the show to inspire you.
