Wouldn't a S.K scripted video game be amazing?

I saw this once and thought it was really funny.
Hope the link works.

That's interesting information about the deal for The Dark Tower and any potential gaming spinoff. Does King own the videogame rights for the rest of his catalog? I too would doubt he would want to take the time to script a videogame. Given all his other commitments, and given the different nature of this particular art form, I'm not sure this would be something he'd want to do.
I know it was said in jest, but the mention of Cujo vs. Zombies got me thinking about the possibility of a simple, just-for-fun-type game that could combine several of King's stories. Maybe something like a Nintendo 8/16-bit game, a 2D platformer where a character goes through different novel-related levels. A Pet Sematary level, a Children of the Corn level, a Marsten House level, etc. For those who know the game Shovel Knight, you'll understand what I mean when I say it could be done like that.
I liked that 8-bit cinema with The Shawshank Redemption, as well.

An 8/16 bit 2d platformer would be fun. Maybe the levels could be levels of the Tower or S.K's brain..
Maskins, King's brain as a video game is a very fascinating concept. Maybe you go into the brain and experience those levels. The last boss is King himself, perhaps? One could go through all the sections of the brain dedicated to his books.
Some company should talk to King and try to get the idea licensed/funded.

I would so not want to get stuck on the 'can I get this damned lint from my belly-button?' level.
The last of us is awesome
And yes he should write his own seperate video game storyline that would be cool.

This would be awesome! But....the LEGO videogames are about the only level of games I can play.I gave up on LOST because it was making me dazed and confused.What can I say! I grew up on Atari and all the grand games that went along with it!
It would also be good for adults (we know how we all still love Lego). Also think of all that child and parent bonding time over recreating classic King scenes.
I can say I honestly love Lego.
I can't wait to play The Shining in Lego with my little one!
