Personally, I always thought The Grapes of Wrath would've been a great video game.

Just think of it: An old jalopy of a truck overburdened with passengers has to careen down a dirty highway in the American southwest, veering past tumbleweeds, scurrying varmints, and unscrupulous land owners. The object of the game is to quickly drive across the landscape and find an honest farming business that'll pay you a fair wage, or your family will die of starvation--or, worse, kill themselves or someone else in an act of desperation.

Sound fun?? Get the kids!

Well, someone else has created a Great Gatsby video game. You, too, can live the life of a flapper and a playboy, minus the whole downer of being killed. It looks like Super Mario, circa 1982, and plays pretty much the same way, too. Except with more gangsters and random gentlemen doing The Charleston.
