Oh hey, while we're on the subject of movie-based games from 1993, I think it may be worth mentioning that this was also the year the original (and best) Jurassic Park came out in theaters and that the games based on that movie were also hits. Especially the Sega Genesis version, which uniquely was a side-scrolling action game that allowed you the option to play as a raptor. You read that correctly. I got to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a dinosaur, and not the leaf-eating kind. I guess that was considered too edgy for the Nintendo audience. (Is it all coming back to you now as to why the Genesis was the more popular platform before 1994?)

The developers of that game, BlueSky, went on to create the Vectorman games for Sega a couple years later.

Genesis does what Nintendon't.
