** Which was supposed to be a bunch of one-off comics of several 8-bit games, a la ''Webcomic/VGCats'' or ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'', but ended up as an ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy1'' parody in the end.

* Website/ShiftyLook was an official version of this trope; most comics featured were based off old obscure Namco games, and almost all of them had a humorous tilt.

* ''Webcomic/TheChosenFour'' for ''VideoGame/EarthBound''.

* ''[[https://simplevalues.thecomicseries.com/ Simple Values]]'' - a VideoGame/StardewValley based comic with three major changes in the narrative: The characters are all [[FunnyAnimal anthromorphic dogs]], there are two main characters (male and female cousins) instead of one and both were major [[=JojaCorp=]] employees, rather than an office drone.

* ''Webcomic/SecretOfManaTheater'' for ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana''

* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' follows the story of the 8-bit VideoGame/MegaMan games... mostly.
** Also of note, the comic was supposed to be about something completely different, had the Megaman filler had not been so popular and the writer's drawing skills not be so poor.
** Many of its subcomics also use this trope, including as ''Webcomic/MSPaintMasterpieces'', which also follows the plot of the [[Videogame/MegamanClassic 8-bit Mega Man games]]. So far only the first games are completed.

** ''Webcomic/NuzlockeComics'' takes a lot of liberties, but the result is awesome!

A subtrope of TwiceToldTale and a subgenre of {{Fan Web Comic}}s: these comics play out the plot of their chosen games, from start to finish. Some comics hold closer to the original storyline than others. Liberties may be taken - via AlternateCharacterInterpretation, inclusion of original characters, and embellishment (if not outright {{Retcon}}ning) of plot points - the essential plot and major elements remain the same.

* "Of the movies" rather than "of the games", but ''Webcomic/DMOfTheRings'' for ''Film/LordOfTheRings'' and ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' for ''Franchise/StarWars'' (they started with the prequels and have now reached the original trilogy).

Such comics often take the form of an AffectionateParody.

** ''Webcomic/BlackAdventures'', for ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', may not have [[ImageBoards started out]] [[ChooseYourOwnAdventure this way]], but it seems to be doing so now.

* ShiftyLook was an official version of this trope; most comics featured were based off old obscure Namco games, and almost all of them had a humorous tilt.

* ''TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'' starts out telling the immediate backstory of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' from the villains' perspective, but sprawls out into the rest of the series, and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] almost all the significant plot and gameplay elements of the games along the way. The events of ''Metal Gear Solid'' are shown in a [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste deliberately anticlimactic]] [[http://www.gigaville.com/comic.php?id=499 single strip]].

* ''Webcomic/LegendOfMaxx'' for ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}''
