THE GREAT GATSBY is getting a ton of attention lately thanks to Baz Luhrman’s much anticipated feature film adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the titular character. We thought that every GATSBY-related item had been thought of, but we were mistaken!
Charlie Hoey has developed an 8-bit game featuring the beloved characters of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless novel! Consisting of four levels, you play as the novel’s narrator, Nick Carroway as he attempts to accomplish a unique mission on each level. While doing so, he must fling his hat at (evil?) butlers and flappers and destroy the laser eyes of Dr. Eckleberg.
The game also features some of the book’s most famous quotes and is surprisingly addictive and insanely fun! We’re definitely hooked! Check out the game here and then let us know what you think of this idea!
