Instead of the simple novelization of Fatherland, expand it into a franchise with a point and click adventure game based on it.
Have a developer in pick it up and read it on a flight, who goes onto buys the rights and makes it into a game.
errmmm yeah this lol
I'm pessimistic. The book -and possible the movie which I haven't seen yet- is more of a crime drama than an action movie. More about painting a world and setting an atmosphere. If anything, it would be a detective puzzle game. And with the mood being so important, I doubt that computer graphics would be evolved enough to do the game justice until halfway 2005. If done right, you would of course have a game that would eat Ubisoft's 'CSI-the game' and 'Law & order-the game' for breakfast. Still, I'm afraid that all we'd end up with would be a fairly playable game with mediocre graphics and a story halfway reminiscent of the book. They'd probably just leave out the part of the Jewish extermination for being not suited for the label rating and just make the story about looted artwork locked away jn Switzerland.
However if any programmer would be inspired by the world and create Duke Nukem IV: Return to Wolfenstein instead... I would probably still have it on my computer and play it at least often enough to take it with me every time I switch to a new machine.
