The Great Gatsby for Nes

Here we have F.Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, The Great Gatsby, developed into an NES style 8-bit platformer. You play as the narrator, Nick Carraway, as you take on dancers, waiters and gangsters throughout scenes in the novel.
The games website claims that the game is an unreleased localisation of a Nintendo game called 'Doki Doki Toshokan: Gatsby no Monogatari' complete with manual and artwork. However, Charlie Hoey made it as an 8-bit tribute.



Hoey's game is similar to the 'demakes' of Eric Ruth, known for creating demakes of Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead.
