Like most kids of the 80s and 90s I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and then playing the associated video game tie in. Common knowledge is that these movie tie ins were of varying degrees of good and often were awful. But as a kid who was often in a video games shop with a five pound note to spend all I had to go on was the box art and the name of the game. In my head this meant if it was Arnie film tie in then it had a good chance that it might be good.....right?

Any way recently I started digging up some old Arnie related video games using Moby Games and a list from Wikipedia of all of Arnie's films and I started to begin pulling together a nice list of all the Arnie films and the associated video game tie ins.

So sit back and 'let off some steam (Bennett)' as I take you through some of the Arnie gems and rotten apples that I found on my Arnie nostalgia trip.
