* The 1989 [[AdventureGame graphical adventure]] game ''Videogame/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' was Lucasfilm games' biggest hit before VideoGame/MonkeyIsland, got good reviews and was followed by the great ''VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheFateOfAtlantis''. The latter's success may be partially due to the fact that it wasn't based on any particular movie. That LucasArts at the time was known for producing excellent adventure games also helped. Some years later, when the company was already going to a downward spiral, they released ''VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheInfernalMachine'' and ''VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheEmperorsTomb'', two 3D action-adventures that were much less well-received, but are still considered more than decent.
* There are many ''Franchise/StarWars'' games that are ''very'' good, namely because developers have a whole ''galaxy'' with thousands of years of history to play around with and are therefore not obligated to be so tied to the movies; the fact that there were a total of three (later six) movies and that most of these games were developed well after the movies, giving the appropriate time and information needed to fill in any gaps, helps a lot too (See also Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse). Such games include ''[[DarkForcesSaga Dark Forces]]'' and its ''Jedi Knight'' sequels, the ''VideoGame/EmpireAtWar'' {{RTS}} title, ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', ''VideoGame/TIEFighter'' (which is still considered to be one of the best games in [[SimulationGame its genre]]), ''ShadowsOfTheEmpire'', the ''RogueSquadron'' trilogy, their more-simple-but-downright-fun cousin Starfighter, the ''VideoGame/SuperStarWars'' games (in possibly the top tier of NintendoHard games), the ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando'' FPS, the VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires clone Galactic Battlegrounds and the ''[[StarWarsBattlefront Battlefront]]'' series. Even the old 1983 {{Atari}} VectorGame that recreated the battle of the Death Star was highly received and groundbreaking at the time.

Pinocchio is fine, but it's not quite a gaming classic like, say, Duck Tales or Golden Eye 1997

* Most games by Banpresto, most prominently ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', ''AnotherCenturysEpisode'' (produced in collaboration with [[VideoGame/ArmoredCore From Software]]), and the ''GundamVsSeries'' (the latter done with Capcom). It helps that BP is a subsidiary of Bandai, the studio that actually makes ''{{Gundam}}'' and several other of the shows featured in these series--and all this before Bandai merged with Namco, too. Now, not every series is done especially well all the time, but if they mess up with one, expect that another series will be done magnificently well in the same game.
** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' is so good that they arguably made at least one anime plot ''better''. The ''SRW'' version of ''GundamSEEDDestiny'' has [[spoiler:both sides manipulated into thinking the other side has been corrupted, due to footage of them either taking money from the Earth Alliance or killing civilians.]]
** The NoExportForYou ''MobileSuitGundamClimaxUC'' is another example, covering the UC timeline from 0079 to ''CrossboneGundam,'' with the exception of ''GundamUnicorn'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]].''
