What obscure/forgotten video-game should be made into a movie?

I really liked Silent Hill as a movie. Not only was it the first time that a video-game made a wonderful transition to the big screen (IMO) but Christophe Gans really did take the material seriously and made a film that respected both the horror and mystery genre.

So, I began wondering what other, lesser, video games might make for good movies. Obviously the video-game universe has to be rich in imagination rather than just being a popular title, is what I mean. Look at Mortal Kombat or House of the Dead for example.

I think that Splatterhouse would make a great movie if it was kept as dark, gory and mysterious as the game. What about you?

Never heard of Yoshii's Cookie. Are you being sarcastic?

Prince of Persia, Metal Gear Solid, Shenmue, Shadow of Colossus; these are the first that pop up in my mind.

I agree with moonscream with PoP and MGS. Also, i reckon Jak and Daxter would make an entertaining and funny film
