Real People Digitized
After Watching The Björk "Hyperballad" Video Recently, I Realized How Much I Appreciated 8-Bit / 16-Bit 2D Renditions Of Bigger Than Real Life Peoples.
Examples:
-Mike Tyson In "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out"
-Jackie Chan In "Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu"
Additions, Oppositions, & Opinions Requested.
To be honest when I first saw this topic I thought of Tron. But I know you weren't talking about that.
I haven't seen that video but Bruce Lee comes to mind (even if some of the games featuring his likeness weren't all that great - excluding the 8-bit version on my Atari computer)

Street Fighter: The Movie the game uses all the real actors, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, Raul Julia, etc. :P

Digitized
Greetings Programs.
The first game to use digitized people was Pit Fighter in 1990. But that depends on the definition because Journey Escape used digitized pictures of the band members heads and that was back in 1983.

Thanks for the replies but you guys are missing the point!
I don't mean motion captures or photographs...I mean good video game renditions of real people...preferably in good games like the two I mentioned...
I had another one on the top of my head, but it is really slipping my mind.
If you could go back in time, who would you make a game about?
Can you imagine if Björk really did have her own Megadrive Action RPG?[/u]
This link to the original video that sparked this thread might help your imagination.

Bruce Willis was in ... ummm... What was that game? Apocolypse?
Mortal Kombat only has some no-name people hired for the game. He was looking for famous people, as evidenced by his two examples. But yeah, it is 32-bit, isn't it. Oops.Did you just overlook and list Street Fighter the Movie video game over Mortal Kombat?
Ive thought of one:
Marilyn Monroe face on posters in the background of Shinobi
There was that cancled SNES Steven Segal game.
Breaking Bad 3x02 - Caballo Sin Nombre
You have Bruce Lee for SNES
Ok I figured out the other game that was on the top of my head....
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for Genesis
Definitely a perfect example of what I am talking about! The Bruce Lee for SNES isn't bad either, although the game does not look too enthralling
Shaq-Fu, mo fo's!
Don't forget Michael Jordan- Chaos In The Windy City
Honestly, the art in the game didn't really look like Shaq or Mike.
Of course there is Jordan vs. Bird for Genesis as well. The sprites aren't very well done though...I might include
What about NBA Jam? There was some famous basketball players in right? But was the caracher in-game the same no matter who you chose or did the sprite on the faces change? I forgot.
I wouldn't really count sports games in general... they don't really encapture the feeling of what I originally was talking about
Chan-fans
There's Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu...the sprite's not a dead ringer but it's funny if you've seen younger Jackie. Plus, you do pilot a real person through a whole game. That's early '91...anyone know earlier?
Going older...may not qualify but we all know the splash screen shot of E.T. - it was a ... real puppet! Prolly the most realistic graphic I remember seeing on the VCS.
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.
an old C64 game from 1987, plays in B&W, Detective thriller, if I remember rightly, forgot the title....
Definetely my favourite of this kind. I finished it countless times. And the music is nice as well.
