In case you missed it, this is the best thing that happened today.
I've spent way too much time thinking about classics that should be adapted into video games. If you're a game developer looking to adapt another classic, here's what I'd like to play, in order of enthusiasm.
- Macbeth
- Pale Fire
- As I Lay Dying
- Lord of the Flies
- Moby Dick
- Henry IV Pt.1
- Richard III
- Don Quixote
- The Master and Margarita
- Pericles
- The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
- Dr.Jeckyll & Mr.Hyde
- Slaughterhouse 5
- 1984
- Midnight's Children
- Grapes of Wrath
- The Metamorphosis
- Paradise Lost
- Island of Dr.Moreau
- Finnegan's Wake
- In Search of Lost Time (this one's a dare)
