Abandonware DOS title

Games based on a TV series

The 70s and the 80's were the silver age of TV series. It was inevitable that the early game companies decided to make games out of them. Let's forget a moment about Star Trek, which received a huge amount of adaptations and think about other TV series: Mission Impossible, Miami Vice, Hill Street Blues. Even Beavis and Butthead got their own videogame.
