What kills me is that the movie has so many elements that would have made a good game: Dodging beer bottles in Bob's Country Bunker while avoiding Good Old Boys Scary orphanage level where you evade the Penguin's ruler attack until you make it to Rufus' basement Driving sections, a la the original Grand Theft Auto, evading police and finding clues to the other Blues Brothers Band members Rhythm games: dance along with Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Cab Calloway, And the music - even if you don't license Sam & Dave, John Lee Hooker or Tammy Wynette, you can get somebody to mimic their style. And even Midway could afford to license Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" theme for crying out loud.

I was at least 13 when The Power Rangers became a thing, so when I watched the show, I laughed at it ironically. It was just directed at a much younger audience than me. Yet I loved it ironically. Then I got a SNES Power Rangers game for Christmas. I didn't want it, nor did any of my siblings, but it was actually a decent beat-em-up. I still like the game to this day, because it was just a damn fun play through. That is to say, while games can often be beneath you, never count out a game based solely on its subject matter. Although I don't think anyone watching this will get the Dan Fogelberg reference.

The Amiga look is caused by hardware limitations. The smooth but blinding color transitions in the sky are the easiest co-processor effect, which help distract from the 32 colors a game would otherwise be working with. And the sprites are small because large sprites need to be done in software. The most popular Amiga was using 1985 hardware, after all. Think of it as a Master System on steroids. It's not at all accurate (Limited color counts aside, you'd expect something like Agony on a 32x), but it describes the system you're working with, if you try to program it like an 80's game console. In a sense, it's like the Sega Saturn. Yeah, it could achieve Virtua Fighter 2 in high resolution mode. And yes, that Sonic Jam overworld is doing things Mario 64 can't. But if you were lazy or rushed, you ended up with Virtua Fighter 1 and Battle Monsters, instead.

This almost feels like a "video game" you'd see in the background of a TV show or a surreal gag where characters end up in what '90s writers _understand to be_ a "video game".

Make the music better, get some coherent gameplay design going, levels that reflect the movie, throw the Bluesmobile in there... Hmm... _(furiously scribbles design document)_
