Feb 4, 2022 · 1 E.T. Nearly Killed The Video Gaming Industry. Of all movie tie-in games, none are as notorious as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600.

- Battleship (2012) Though the attempt to turn the board game into a blockbuster movie ended up being a massive box-office failure and one that most people would be happy to forget, Battleship also produced not one but two separate video game tie-ins of the same name.
