6 Of The Most Ridiculous Video Games Turned Into TV Shows

If you think Hollywood couldn’t get any more ridiculous than an "Angry Birds" movie, you may not have heard about the new CBS Corporation CBS show: Candy Crush. According to CBS, the show will be a live-action game show in the same spirit of "Wipeout" and "Fear Factor."

If you were a fan of the iconic Legend of Zelda game, then I’m sure you enjoyed the 1989 "Legend of Zelda" TV show that shockingly ran for only one season.

Mortal Combat: Conquest

This classic 1998 live-action martial arts TV series was another one-season wonder that inspired plenty of head-shaking among gamers.

Donkey Kong Country

Captain N: The Game Master

This 1989 TV show featured a laundry list of Nintendo characters and product placements, including a human-sized supercomputer character that was shaped like a Game Boy console. The character’s name was “Game Boy.”
