# Adorable Movie-Themed Video Games This Video Game Mimics 2013 Great Gatsby Film's Settings By Jen Chae | Published 2013-05-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2013-great-gatsby-film References: [slate](http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/05/the_great_gatsby_the_video_game_can_you_attain_the_american_dream.html) & [mashable](http://mashable.com/2013/05/13/great-gatsby-game/) Slate.com dares you to "reach the green light and attain the American Dream" via The Great Gatsby video game. The [pixelated online game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-4) will remind you of Baz Lurhmann's rendition of the film in the form of an old-school [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugrats-adventures-in-gameland) game with 8-bit music as its soundtrack. You play Nick Carraway; the goal of the game is to row through the sea, beat obstacles by slapping opponents with a hat and surviving to meet Gatsby. You will come across several familiar scenes and quotes from Fitzgerald on your quest. This cleverly designed game is a pure form of entertainment, more so in a cute and hilarious way than the intense-video-game way. The setting of each level is all too familiar if you've seen the 2013 movie; though sadly, there are no parties involved. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Movie-themed Video Games:** There is an opportunity to create more video games based on popular movies that can attract new audiences and appeal to fans of the film. - **Retro Gaming:** There is an opportunity to transform modern films or pop culture icons into old-school video games as the demand for retro gaming continues to grow. - **Nostalgic Gaming:** There is an opportunity to tap into the nostalgia of classic movies and TV shows with video games that feature familiar settings, characters, and storylines. ### Where This Applies - **Film Industry:** Film production companies and studios can collaborate with video game developers to create tie-in games that compliment their movies and provide additional revenue streams. - **Gaming Industry:** Video game companies can focus on creating retro-style and nostalgic games that offer a different gaming experience from modern games and appeal to a wider audience range. - **Media Industry:** Media companies that own intellectual property and content rights can expand their reach by diversifying their offerings with video games that build on their existing content and cultivate new communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Album-Inspired Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-country-legacy.md) - [Creative Hollywood-Themed Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywoodthemed-games.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Animated Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugrats-adventures-in-gameland.md) - [Haunting Gaming Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hauntii-xbox-game.md) - [Trading Card-Themed Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garbage-pail-kids-1.md) - [Daily Game-Guessing Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guessthegame.md) - [Pizza-Themed Arcade Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slice-hunter.md) - [Gaming Ads-Inspired Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/those-games.md) - [Iconic Game Thriller Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-1.md)
