Great Gatsby NES game from a parallel dimension


Here's an arch bit of literary game humor/art: "The Great Gatsby for NES" is an improbable 8-bit game based on the classic Fitzgerald novel that purports to have been released for the original Nintendo Entertainment System and lost, only to be recovered now. The funnyfolk behind the project have not only made a full, playable Flash version of the game, they've also produced box art, a cartridge label, and documentation.
