A few other famicom games:
Square's Tom Sawyer which is a prime example of Japan's racial sensitivity.

OMG That's so bad! I can't believe it.

Whenever anyone mentions Japan and racism, that is always the first thing that comes to my mind.

It's so horrid it's hilarious.

The XSeed Wizard of Oz game on the DS kicks ass. Too bad it's so rare now, wish I had picked it up when it was available.

I bought Call of Cthulhu for Xbox last Saturday. Look pretty cool.

The first Alone in the Dark comes to mind
If H.P lovecraft related games count, then I guess that JRR Tolkien and Robert E. Howard related games also count?

That is excellent!

I wonder if you'll also have the option of walking half hour back to your parents' house?

Edit: This isn't classic literature, but there is a MUD based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.

That Great Gatsby game was sweet! You think it's a Ninja Gaiden hack?

Anyway, there was a Lord of the Rings game for SNES, but I've never played nor have I ever heard anything good about it.
