Text has influenced the gaming industry in a lot of ways whether that be using a book, a comic or a manga from Japan. Games that have been based off of books would be the Sherlock Holmes games or the Alice in wonderland games and by using these books you are able to create a target audience or create ideas which will be used in the game e.g. if you hear about a Sherlock Homes game then you will think of murders or mystery or maybe even Victorian setting. Games that have been based off of comic books usually have set characters such as the Deadpool games will have the enemies that he has, the characters that he has and also the art style it has. Games that are based off of Manga will be based in Japan, there art style will be in a very different style.
