The Great Gatsby NES

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorite novels. The characters have real substance, and the story is ripe with interesting symbolism. I must admit, I'm pretty excited for the upcoming summer blockbuster with DiCaprio as Gatsby himself. When perusing the internet looking for Gatsby related stuff I found something worthy of giddy, childlike excitement.

THE GREAT GATSBY NES VIDEO GAME.

Now, this is not an actual NES game, it is simply a flash game done in NES style. However it has been polished to a sheen, and is actually some serious fun. You do awesome things like avoiding butlers..

And throw hats at people dressed like Indians..

And best of all, stare right back into the eyes of the valley of the ashes.. 

The Great Gatsby NES is fantastic. If you have some extra time on your hands and have read the book I absolutely recommend playing it. Here is the link: http://greatgatsbygame.com/
