To steal a title from my friend Charlie’s recent FB post, this is what would happen if hyperarchivalism had only advanced as far as the Nintendo Entertainment System (or something). Enjoy, enjoy.
NES
Two Small Bits of Hyperarchivalism
The first bit is an amazing adaptation of The Great Gatsby into a NES game! We are truly hyperarchival when a work of classic Am. lit. gets translated into a classic late-20th c. interactive medium–the 8-bit vid.–in 2011.
Also, my good friend Dave pointed me to a review of Repo Men that has a very different take on the film than my own–i.e. it isn’t as nearly gleefully celebratory, sadly.
