I guess this is a thread about spinoffs. This excludes sports, racing, and fighting... just board games or parlor games.
What are some of your favorites? Sonic Spinball? Mario Party? Pac-Man Fever? Mortal Kombat Pog Master?

Hmm, I don't know... how about the actual Pac-Man board game? I remember it being awesome, but haven't played it in years now... no idea where that went, but we don't have it anymore. :(

Pokemon Yahtzee Jr. was pretty fun, how is the Super Mario Bros. board game?
I wonder if there's a video-game version of Trivial Pursuit?

Nintendo Monopoly.
In the 1980's, this would've been ironic.
In the 2000's, this is a great board game.
I wonder if there's a video-game version of Trivial Pursuit?

Actually I wanted to know if there was Trivial Pursuit with video-game questions, but thanks for letting me know about that.

Magnavox Odyssey was clever, they sold their video games with a board game included:
Wipeout

Oh pfft, Reiner Knizia's LotR>every licenced board game ever. :)
But looking at vg franchises exclusively, I'd cast a vote for Pac-Man as well.

Quite a few quiz games do contain an occasional video game question. Trivial Pursuit Jr. contains the question, "Which video game character has appeared in the most games?" The Trival Pursuit: Pop Culture 2 DVD also contains the question, "Asteroids was the first video game to feature what?"
