Movie adaptations of videogames have a fairly infamous reputation for being...well, let's be honest, terrible. But surely an entire genre can't be written off? Of the hundreds made so far, there must be a few good ones, right? Join hosts Jamie and Rory as they suffer through the seemingly endless sea of bad videogame movies in search of the few diamonds in the rough. There will be laughs, tears (mostly from Jamie) and nerdy details nobody could possibly care about!
Let us suffer through these terrible movies, so you don't have to!

Now, you probably thought that Super Mario Bros. (1993) was the first videogame movie, right? That's what mummy and daddy told you when you were a tiny child who hadn't been awoken yet to how bad videogame movies could be? Well, your parents lied kid.
The ACTUAL first videogame movie is THIS: Mirai Ninja from the fine folks at Namco Bandai was made in conjunction with the videogame of the same name and was released in 1988 a full five years before Super Mario Bros. however, it was only released in Japan at the time which is why most people don't remember it.
This low budget movie is an odd blend of martial arts, sci-fi and Power Rangers. Seriously. It has to be seen to be believed.

It wouldn't be the final days of VGMP without Jamie having one more rage-filled meltdown and Rory certainly saved the best for last! King Koopa's Kool Kartoons is a forgotten (not to mention lost) TV series from 1989, of which only 8 surviving minutes have been found. How bad can 8 minutes be?
Well, strap in and pop on your headphones as we discuss the worst eight minutes you have ever heard in your life.
Seriously.
