Never played this Guitar Hero thingy and probably never will. Unless of course somebody actually gets me a mint C64 and then goes on to conjure the interface pictured above (or something very similar, really), that is. For, you see, dear Commodore loving masses, the immensely popular and hugely gimmicky Guitar Hero game is sort of coming to the C64, and will surely be using this high-tech looking bit. Just don't expect proper PS2 quality graphics or gameplay, and obviously not an official port. Or a port at all, for that matter. What you should expect though is a chance to plug the guitar-shaped controller into your C64, have it recognized and thus get a rare chance to play some GH-like mini-games. Interested? Good. Off to the Shredz64 Project webpage to find out more.Related @ Gnome's Lair: the NES home-computer, top 8 online emulators, Newcomer C64

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have believed it unless i'd seen it, which i have and I still find it hard to believe, but hell I never knew the C64 came in mint flavour either...
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the appreciation Amber, and, yes, it is indeed pretty impressive.

This is the kind of stuff that I get really excited by * ... The cleverness of the types that can do this stuff is on a par with the stone masons who built gothic cathedrals...

But how clever would a gothic artisan porn star be, after lifting some C64 boxes?
