TheFineBros create an interesting brand of interactive YouTube "video games" that emulate the style of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Their latest installment is a humorous series based on the hit AMC drama "Mad Men," about a 1960s advertising agency. The game presents you with a set-up, then allows you to choose the next chapter of the story from a few different options.

The story begins as most episodes of the show do, with Don Draper and a whiskey cart. The whole interactive series plays off of the show's quirks -- heavy drinking, ironic smoking, and misogyny. The premise is also a bit of a parody. Your first decision is whether to seek out Pete for confidence, Peggy for new ideas, or Betty for inner peace. You can play the free game in its entirety below. Let the (mad) games begin.

It sounds like a great game for those with low moral values.

Mad Men is my favorite show, and this game killed a few minutes so no harm done.

Just because you can make a game doesn't necessarily mean you should. That sort of goes hand in hand with my next thought. You can make a game, but that doesn't mean anyone will play it.

I've struggled to get through the video, I see it's irony. Talent subjected to wealth. Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Renoir, Klee and all are now hoping to get a colorful jab at the system that bought them; let lose the hounds and begin the revenge!

It's a "free game." And a vast majority of what fans of shows or games do and make on the internet, they do as a labor of love, not for profit. Nobody -paid- Neill Corlett and his rom hacker buddies to translate Secret of Mana 2, back in 2000.

The first video game I played was Pitfall, I think I was 3 or 4.
Time passed me as well, but I never stopped playing NES,
SNES, Sega Genesis, Turbografix 16, GBA, N64, or PSX games.
Emulatin' on PC and not givin' a f--k about new consoles since 1998.

Why would anyone seek out Betty for inner peace?? The character is an emotional train-wreck.

What I want to know is how they intend to model the "sexy" scenes. Can you imagine if this was an old NES game?

Scenario: You're at the stage where you get to bed Christina Hendricks.

First, you gotta hit left-right, then left and A to pull off her blouse, then up-down, then B to pop her bra ;)

Yeah I'm a pervert like that LOL sue me or something :P

When are people going to learn? You cannot turn every television show, movie, comic book series, or... every other tired idea into a video game.

Funny but I wish they would have made it a real game instead of just the video idea. Still hilarious.
