The Video game adaptation was pretty fun, as an interactive story. Got to end up seeing all 3 versions of the Big Bad Wolf.

Oh yeah, another one:

The Dominions line of video games. The budget is low, but the fantasy kitchen sink approach works.

Where else can a Christian Roman Empire face off against the underworld Lizards, Deep Ones and Starchildren of Lovecraftian fame, the Nephilim of Judaic lore, the Phoenicians, Greek heroes riding the occasional Pegasus, the Allfather, Heart-ripping Aztecs, Satyrs and Panii, Steel-casting Germanic tribes, Druidic armies, Man-eating Amazons, Chinese from the Spring and Autumn period, African Witch doctors, fire elementals, semi-Zoroastrian winged Persians, Cavedwelling giants, Sidhe (with some pre-Sidhe thrown in the mix), Fomorians, Nordic Frost Giants, Rakshasas, Buddhist Apes, Enkidu and his kin, Japanese wild demons, Mermen (and their near-humanoid amphibian kin)... and since a short while, some undead Greek-ish ghosts?

Well, I suppose Harry nearly can ;)
