    Do feel free to share all your personal licensed game favourites, as well as any that I may have missed. Hopefully you enjoy this, it took a good while to put together but hopefully it's worth it! :)

      This sort of thing is why your channel was one of the first...maybe even the first.. retro gaming channels I subscribed to.
      I'm blown away that there were 100 games, and the lack of Astroboy (GBA) or half a dozen of my favorite fighting games and Lego titles just proves this is a deeper well than reputation suggests.

      Alien Trilogy, Die Hard Trilogy, Spiderman 2 (PS2), Chronicles of Riddick: EFBB and Alien v Predator 2000 are probably my favourite ever tie-ins/spin-offs ever... also; The Addams Family on SNES was *awesome*
      Edit: Alien 3 also holds a special place in my heart, as every system got a totally different version and I _really_ miss the days where that happened!
      ...and shout out all my Batman Cartoon Maker players out there lol... Multimedia PC heads _represent!_ Only real ones know 😂❤
      _(...and_ fair play to the Alien: Isolation top 10 position - it really is both _unbelievably_ good and *absolutely terrifying!)*
      Great video - cheers Kim 🍻

    Hope you make part 2 of 100 more licensed games! There's a bunch of Star Wars hidden gems that you should check out if you haven't. Personally, I loved the RPG part in Phantom Menace, the beatemup Jedi Power Battles, and surprisingly, the terraforming strategy/sim Gungan Frontier... never expected that to be good! Also Starfighter and Battle for Naboo that have the ship that the Mandalorian is now using in the series. And there are fan patches that make the Jedi Knight games SORTA work on modern PCs. It's a hassle to set up though.
    I also heard a lot of good stuff about games based on Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter though I haven't played those myself so can't comment... And Godfather was the ONLY GTA-like game I actually 100%ed. It's just really good. As to Bond stuff, I enjoyed all I played but mostly PS1 games of Brosnan era which are not that bad, except the horrible car combat game... Speaking of that, WHEN YOU PLAY STAR WARS DEMOLITION, TURN OFF REGENERATION PADS ON STAGE. That game is great if you stop enemies from endlessly healing.

    Another fantastic list Kim!
    I only played Bruce Lee on the Atari 800xl back in the day (it felt like a signature release for it, it certainly came out first) and it was an especially memorable game I felt.
    It was coloured a little better than the c64 version, though I expect they played much the same. It seems like it was possibly the best looking 800 game in the end, perhaps because it was specifically designed for its palette, ie rather than being just a straight conversion like most of the system's games ended up being I expect.

    ---And something else which might surprise you : Jurassic Park:Trespasser is also a game that i enjoyed seeing it here.
    I remember my favourite PC magazine(PC Master) totally "burrying" this game during its release date , but after seeing your excellent Trespasser-review that you made few years ago , i've realised how many potential this game had if the developers had been able to refine certain details.

    You said you played the PS 2 version but they updated the game for the PS 3 and Xbox 360. As I remember that version had added missions and was balanced a bit better so that it was a tad more difficult and had some other slight changes. I always enjoyed the background art, NY in the 1940/50s was a great setting for a game as well.
