As with many series that gain popularity it's not unnatural for it to get a video game based on it.
Released in 1993 for the Super Famicom and never localised outside of Japan, this game is a point and click adventure game mixed with some rpg elements using a card based system; mostly based on the story of Stardust Crusaders, but with some differences in terms of plots and progression due to the medium that it is present as.
Depending on where you play this fighing game based on Stardust Crusaders, you'll play a slightly version. JoJo's Venture is the basic arcade version that was released in 1998. This got updated with several more characters added in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, which was released in 1999 for the Playstation and the Dreamcast. The game was rereleased in 2012 as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD for the Playstation Netwok and Xbox Live Arcade. The most notable thing about this game is the close involvement that Hirohiko Araki had with it, namely creating a brand new character design for Midler, a minor antagonist from halfway through Part 3 as she hadn't had a concrete character design.
