Comparing movies, books and adventure games as different versions for the same title is a very good idea. Indeed, there are some good examples.
Apparently a game addresses the same subject with a very different approach. Often an excellent story of a novel does not work well for an adventure game - or the outcome may be something entirely different - e.g. Odyssey-The Search for Ulysses. I think this could be a most interesting topic to analyze.
Also, the characteristics of adventure game as a genre, the way it delivers meaning, could be interesting in itself.
Not to mention the expressly educational games with reconstructed locations, encyclopedies, and so on.
