Fake Great Gatsby NES Game Discovered, Worth Playing
Ah, finally a video games that my fellow English majors and I can get behind. We all know that video games rot your mind, but how about games based on classic literature?
Over at the Great Gatsby Game website, some talented soul has posted a Flash game supposedly ripped from a real life NES cartridge found "at a yard sale." While this Great Gatsby game based on the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald is sadly not actually from the NES-era, it is awesome.
Go play it and enjoy the wonderful retro art style and gameplay that some mysterious designer has thrown together. Here's hoping that whoever created this is hard at work on other retro titles based off of literature. Super Pride and Prejudice, anyone?
Seriously, though, this feels like a more respectful adaptation than Dante's Inferno. What's up with that?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
