7. Great Gatsby The Game
Developer: Charlie Hoey Year: 2011 Availability: Free Browser Game You may have heard the story about how a young man stumbled upon an NES cartridge at a garage sale containing an unreleased rom of a game based on The Great Gatsby. That story of course is completely untrue, but that does not stop the game from being great. Released a few years ago, the game started as a student project and evolved into something wonderful. The game is not only believable as an NES game, but makes very intelligent references to the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. You play as the main character nick, jumping your way through mansions and cities all the while combating foes ranging from drunken dancers to alligators. The only real issue with the game is the length; the game can be beaten in under half an hour. So, if you're looking for a quick entertaining time killer, The Great Gatsby is the game for you.
