‘Waiting for Godot’: The Video Game – Yes, This Is Happening

If you can bear the excitement, here's a great post by Oliver Miller at Faster Times:

Nothing to be done. Nothing to be done about relentless internet memes, that is. It was only a few days ago that we welcomed the arrival of ‘The Great Gatsby: The Nintendo Game.’ And at the time, we chuckled about translating other great works of literature into 16-bit arcade games. Well, our random literary-game prayers have been answered, and so we present you with… ‘WAITING FOR GODOT: The Video Game,” which we absolutely guarantee is a real thing and not something that we made up at all, and you can play it by clicking right… here.

Yes, yes, yes, it’s an actual working game version of Samuel Beckett’s celebrated play about 20th century despair and ennui. Whoot! Taste the excitement! Now, you can play as Didi or Gogo, and get started on your endless exciting quest of… waiting for Godot.
