Remember reading The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald in highschool wishing " if only it was a video game...." ?
I'm speechless. It's a fake NES online game modeled after the book Gatsby created by Charlie Hooey, Pete Smith Dylan Valentine and Michael DiMotta. The game is made in old fashioned platformer style, jump, shoot and collect coins. You play as Nick Carraway, traveling through West Egg killing butlers and showgirls...with your flying hat! It's actually pretty damn fun and has some bosses. The first level probably has the catchiest song I've ever heard in video game history. Even if you haven't read that boring book, feel free the check out the game :D
