The final level would be shoot Gatsby. He floats around his swimming pool, you have six shots to get him.

Video game remade as novel = Starship Titanic. Not the best result.

So you telling me "The Legend of Zelda" had nothing to do with Gatsby? And what of the F.S. Fitzgerald drinking game?

_Starship Titanic_ was entertaining enough until the end, where it suddenly imploded. Or was that my sense of fun?

I would like to see The Age Of Wire And String by Ben Marcus as a videogame:

Avoid the wind of air dogs barking. Copulate with dead wife appliance. Sing to the maps of the Father house.

Search: Betrayl at Krondor was a decent game at the time as was Dune and Dune II.

Destroy: Lord of The Rings (I could never find the 6th jewel to Riverdale inside the Barrow Downs) and Search for Rama.

Um, I'm working on one right now.

I'd like to see heathcliff the cat vomit on the great gatsby

Christ, mark. Finally an end to this life of witless repetition and... BOING! You're still alive, but it's back to square one! Belacqua would of course be screaming in sympathy every time a Pac-Man died.

Anna Karenin would be like Tron: you choose to be either Levin, Kitty, Vronsky, or Anna - cut all the wheat before the sun goes down, tend to as many sick people as possible before losing faith in yourself, win the horse race without breaking your leg, or of course run at a train before anyone stops you. Only one life.

How bout "K's Quest" as a game - you wake up, are arrested and spend the game wandering about talking to dull office clerks. There is no end to the game. You play until you realise this and then you un- install it and load up a game based on Riders by Jilly Cooper. The object of this is to shag the girl with the longest surname.

my life is a videogame.

What about the Elite novella (Robert Holdstock). It rocked, though as part of the - then phrohibitively expensive £14.99 Disc version package it left a nasty taste in the mouth. But the story was great, and even allowed me to play with my Dad with him as Navigator.

Damn those Tharglets.

Didn't Myst get remade as a book or something too? Playing through Myst III now, but I'm rubbish at it. Don't have a very logical brain... Where's Pac-Man...

So you telling me "The Legend of Zelda" had nothing to do with Gatsby?

Actually, I understand the designer, Miyamoto, named the character Zelda after Zelda Fitzgerald. He heard she was supposed to be very beautiful, though I don't think he actually saw any pictures of her. I'm not sure what the game and the book have to do with each other, but there you go.

The Amazing Mr. Prude's linking of Great American Literature to Essential Childhood Electro-Nostalgia pleases me very very much.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Eh, I do what I can.
