It is a notable feature that the science fiction genre in roleplaying tends to get more TV/movie licenses than any other genre.
The fantasy and horror genres tends to stick with original or literary sources, while superhero games might include Marvel or DC if they can stay in print, but science fiction currently has Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Alien, Tales from the Loop, The Terminator, Altered Carbon and now Bladerunner. One could also mention Dune as it is probably more a tie in with the movie release than it has to do with the book. Previous releases include Firefly/Serenity and Stargate.
