"Ever wanted to play a computer game based on the poems of Emily Dickinson?
Well, now you can, with the release of
EmilyBlaster, a 1980s-style game in
which players must shoot words out of the sky to correctly recreate Dickinson’s
verse.
EmilyBlaster is a real-life version of the fictional game that a character
makes in Gabrielle Zevin’s novel
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, out
next month. Zevin’s book is about Sadie and Sam, who first meet as children in
a hospital computer room in 1987. Eight years later, they are reunited and
begin to work together making computer games.
Among the first games Sadie makes is
EmilyBlaster, and now readers can play
along, after the book’s US publisher, Knopf, recreated it to celebrate
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’s publication."
