Dirk,

        Consider...
        Super Mario Brothers (1993)
        Street Fighter (1994)
        Double Dragon (1994)
        Mortal Kombat (1995)
        Mortal Kombat 2: Annihilation (1997)
        Wing Commander (1999)
        Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)

        And contrary to the claim of Dan Keyes, "Tron" was not based on a
computer game, but merely made to look like one.  The game "Tron" actually
appeared after the film's release.  However, the film "The Last Starfighter"
(1984) was built around a game of the same title that Atari had on the
market before the film's release.
