The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby for NES was a flash game released in the mid 2010s that was staged as a sort of "found media" where the website claimed to have found a prototype at a garage sale. In reality, it was just a flash game with NES-like graphics that paid homage to the platformers of the time.

After years of fans asking homebrewers to port the game to play on a real NES, in 2022, the website was updated with a download link to play the game on real NES hardware.

In the Great Gatsby NES video game, players assume the role of Nick Carraway, the narrator of Fitzgerald's novel. Carraway jumps his way through Jay Gatsby's mansion, the sewers of New York City, the Long Island Railroad and the beaches of posh West Egg. He battles butlers, hobos, flappers, leaping alligators and the disembodied glasses of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg along the way, attacking with a boomerang hat.
