Guillermo del Toro was working on an adaptation that sadly went down the drain Apparently his script was rather different from the original story but still, I was curious to see it.
Prometheus has a lot in common with it.
As for a game, why not? I would be curious to see the result!
Yes, I saw some inspirations in Penumbra and Mountains of Madness. Both the main character heads towards an arctic region (however what they find and the reasons for being there are different). Considering they've done Penumbra, arctic terrain and winds are already available for this story.
I've heard of Promethues (a Xenomorph Aliens-like origins movie). It is still different enough from Lovecraft's Madness story. The monsters, story, and place are different enough to warrant the book to be made into a movie. If we can have a new Spider Man Movie, which I haven't seen, when we already got one just a few years back... then a person could make Mountains of Madness as a Movie.
I too am eager to see this story as a game. Had I the time and ability, I would gladly do it. Importing terrain and cold winds from Penumbra to Amnesia would be easy... well in comparison to the rest. The monsters are totally unique and would require entirely new models/animations.
