Freaks and Geeks is notable not only for launching the careers of James Franco, Jason Segel, and Linda Cardellini, but also for accurately capturing the painful awkwardness of adolescence. Now, thanks to The Fine Brothers, you can relive those awkward years of your life over and over again through their interactive Freaks and Geeks video game. That’s right: someone made a Freaks and Geeks video game. The Internet is a magical place.
The game allows players to guide Lindsay Weir through her newfound friendship with the Freaks through a series of choose-your-own-adventure style questions that each result in a different outcome. Want to see what would have happened if Lindsay changed her mind and went back to Millie? You can make that choice for her and explore the consequences. While only the “Freaks” half of the game is currently available, The Fine Brothers promise that players will be allowed to attempt to navigate life as Sam and the “Geeks” very soon. The show’s co-creator and producer Paul Feig has even given the game his seal of approval, and tweeted a link out to his followerss.
In addition to Freaks and Geeks, The Fine Brothers have created interactive games for television shows like Saved By the Bell and Lost, as well as a game that allows players to determine the fates of Twilight characters Bella, Edward and Jacob. Plus, if you’re a fan of 8-bit, television-inspired video games, but want more freedom than simply choosing your own adventure, there’s always Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne, based on the game played by the characters in the season 3 finale of Community. Because if you can dream it, there’s someone online willing to make it a reality.
Bask in your uncomfortable, high school glory and play Freaks and Geeks: The Interactive Game below.
