EastEnders: The Video Game

EastEnders: The Video Game (Japanese:イーストエンダーズ:ビデオケーム) is a 2001 roleplay video game developed by Activision and published by BBC Multimedia for the Nintendo 64. It is the second video game to be based on the highly successful BBC soap opera EastEnders. The first being an unsuccessful arcade game released for the ZX Spectrum 48K in 1987, which won the Worst Game Award. It was released in the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia on 7 December, 2001, and later in Japan. It is the seventh best-selling game on the Nintendo 64, with more than four and a half million copies sold. The game won two Games Critics Awards in 2001 for Best Role Playing Game and Best Social/Casual/Puzzle/Family Game. The third title sequence from the TV show (1999-2009) was used as the opening titles, while the short-lived Jazzy theme (1993-4) was used for the Start Screen. A MIDI remix of the theme tune composed by Kenta Nagata in 2000 was used for the End Credits. Two cover songs of the theme instrumental, Anita Dobson's Anyone Can Fall In Love and Sharon Benson's I'll Always Believe In You could also be heard in certain parts of the game.

Soon after it's release in Japan, EastEnders became a household name in certain parts of the country. It began transmission on the Japanese TV channel Fuji Television on 17th February, 2003, just 2 days before the 18th anniversary.
