Yesterday’s Galley Cat post about a hilarious Great Gatsby-inspired 1985-style platformer had me thinking about which other classics I’d most want to see get the Nintendo treatment. Leave your ideas in the comments!
Dead Souls: Instead of gold coins, your character collects the papers of dead serfs.
Portnoy’s Complaint: Instead of gold coins, your character collects pieces of liver.
Moby-Dick: Obvious final boss. Unfortunately, your boat goes under no matter what. (Would make a better arcade game than console game.)
Clarissa: Replay the same failed seduction scene for 1,500+ levels.
100 Years of Solitude: Each player can be a different Buendía. See if you can tell them apart.
Henry James (this works for any of the novels): Play as an American abroad. Nothing happens, and everyone grows increasingly uncomfortable.
Anna Karenina: In the bonus level, you get to harvest wheat.
Infinite Jest: Eschaton!
Disgrace: I would like to see somebody attempt the most depressing video game ever made, in which you helplessly fend off home invasions and euthanize stray dogs.
