Mad Max seems higher on that list than I would have expected especially launching alongside Metal Gear. The power of a movie license I guess.

If anything I'd say a movie license in the world of gamers is a chain around your neck, because there haven't been a lot of films that made the jump well. Mad Max did well because it was a legitimately good game, and while Metal Gear was a big deal, its not as big on the PC as in Sonyland.

And ET The Extraterrestrial is a legendary case.

The Lion King movie game on PC was almost enough to shake confidence in the viability of Windows as a gaming platform

NVidia had been bundling MGS with all video cards using their chipset for a good part of the year. If I read the chart correctly it's not counting the bundled MGS as sales.

For the record, I'm more likely to play Mad Max than the clustermuck that is Metal Gear.
