Yes, there's a
Great Gatsby video game
that you can play on the Internet! In this supposedly original Nintendo game (Mediabistro
doubts the "I found it at a yard sale" origin story), you take on the persona of Nick Carraway navigating his way through the world. The game starts out at one of Gatsby's parties, where Nick's goal is to dodge waiters (or take them out with his flying hat weapon) in an attempt to locate Gatsby.
A random Level Two, the Valley of Ashes, takes place on top of a train. I'm not quite sure what the ultimate point of
The Great Gatsby game is - I couldn't get past the laser-shooting T.J. Eckleburg eyes to find out - but the game is quietly addicting, despite the annoying soundtrack.
Clearly I'm not the only one who feels this way. The game has garnered 126, 000 Facebook likes and 5,000+ tweets!
