Don't forget the Home Improvement game for SNES...
Wished there was a 2D Vampire Hunter D game. The PSX game was so terrible. Maybe a cross up of Castlevania/Ninja Gaiden style motif and gameplay.
A Bionic Six game would have been cool too. Also mentioned earlier... Visionaires.

A game based on Full House or Saved By The Bell probably would've done good business for Acclaim/LJN in the tween girls demographic.
The rap group the Fat Boys were huge in the mid-80's. A videogame starring them would've done gangbusters at retail. Hell, it could've been based on their comedy classic "Disorderlies".
Also, I always thought there should've been a videogame based on the Capt. N cartoon.
It was probably difficult enough getting the Captain N cast in the cartoon, but having a game with the same cast would've probably been full of licensing difficulties. In comparison, Bug-tte Honey, which has some similarities to Captain N as an anime series in Japan featuring multiple videogame crossovers, pretty much had none of the "Crossover" aspect in it's videogame adaptation and just felt like a weird, puzzly, kusoge version of Adventure Island.
Come to think of it, though, pretty much anything DiC's made (That wasn't based on a license) didn't get a video game adaptation I can recall.
On the note of 80's franchises which tend to get ignored, stuff targeted for girls tends to get the shaft. There was never a mainstream game based on G1 or G2 My Little Pony or Rainbow Brite, for example. The 80's revival of Alvin and the Chipmunks also got ignored probably because of the major focus on the "Chipettes".
... Come to think of it, there isn't one for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic either, is there? Wow, you'd think a game developer would be wanting to make some cheap cash-in on that while it's still hot.
Underdog (endless opportunities to save Polly Purebread)
Poltergeist
Trading Places (play as either Ray or Lewis)
Mork and Mindy (get to fly with Mork back to Ork)
Hong Kong Fooey
Heathcliff
Planet of the Apes (yes, later versions were done on PS2 and Xbox, but a 2600 or Colecovision version would have been nice)
Michael Jackson's Thriller (lots of possibilities with corpses coming up out of the graveyard)
The Twilight Zone - This would be fun today, in a weekly "episodic" format.
Star Trek: Enterprise - Maybe it wouldn't have been cancelled if we had gotten a decent game. Preferably something a little more cerebral than Elite Force.
House M.D. - I know there was a casual DSi download title, but they should have given this one to Telltale. I always envisioned this series as a graphic adventure.
Robocop: The Animated Series - I can't be the only one who remembers this...
This should have been a real game.
