Bump. I have no idea the cost involved in making a game, & there is no way in hell i could make this myself, but I really want to see this game made. I have $1,000 cash monies to any real developer than wants to start tackling this. PM me if you want to chat about it.
Interesting note on The Running Man Nick. Coming from Stephen King's biggest fan here you know he wrote this right? The scary thing is that in the original book the "Arnold" character is so mad at the company running the game that he steals an airplane and crashes it into their skyscraper head office at the end.
Hah. I played this game first time in 1990s, ZX Spectrum tape version. Few minutes of loading, then the intro that impressed me - large animated silhouette of the running man along with the scrolling title, then sampled 'I'll be back' sound, then animation of getting down the tonnel. Very impressive for this computer, it was just 'wow'. Another few minutes of loading of the game itself, then the gameplay started. Yeah.
The book is very different from the movie. Just saying, be prepared for it. It is still very good though. Get the Bachman collection of four novels written by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. The Long Walk is actually very good too.

Yep, you'll have to go to an old used book store though because the first story in that book (RAGE) SK won't allow to be printed anymore and hasn't in years as it's about a school takeover and was actually in the lockers of some of the real life school shooters. After the Columbine tragedy, Stephen King basically had all copies of Rage pulled from the shelves. The novel features a high school student who wigs out, shoots two teachers, and holds his class hostage for several hours.
The Long Walk was actually the first SK story I ever read and it is what hooked me into SK's work and becoming his self proclaimed biggest fan. Good call on that one. I also really liked Roadwork though. That's the fourth story in the book. It's about a guy who is determined to keep his house even though "progress" looms and the bulldozers are coming. It ends with a "boom"...

There was an official game released in 1989 for many home computers. Here is video of Amiga version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3GmQrQPXc8
I was enthralled for about two minutes! Then the gameplay started.

Ha. That's exactly what I thought when I first watched that video.
