| Rising Star: Rock'n'Roll RPG Announced |
|
From the "I didn't see this coming" department comes the annnouncement from indie publisher Shrapnel Games of <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/News/pr_01.htm" target="_blank">Shady O' Grady's Rising Star</a> - "The Rock Never Stops In This Musical RPG!". No, I didn't make this up:<blockquote><em>Are you a master air guitarist? Did you once buy AquaNet by the case? Does rocking out to your favorite music sometimes lead to embarrassment (such as when your spouse walks in to find your dry humping the sofa during the guitar solo of 'Hot For Teacher')? Have you ever wished to become a rock legend without having to do pesky things like learn an instrument or write songs?
<br>
<br>And probably most important of all, are you ready to ROCK?
<br>
<br>If you answered yes to any of the above questions, Shrapnel Games has the cure for your rock-n-roll blues! We are pleased to announce Shady O' Grady's Rising Star for Windows, developed by Gilligames (known for Space HoRSE, their take on the classic game M.U.L.E.).
<br>
<br>Shady O' Grady's Rising Star is the first ever RPG set in the world of music. No pointy- eared elves, no magical longbows of +5 ocelot slaying, Shady O' Grady's Rising Star is a single-player RPG of longhaired freaks, hot chicks, killer axes, and other implements of destruction.
<br>
<br>The road to glory won't be an easy one. First, you'll have to form your band, with bandmates rated for their playing, songwriting, stage presence, production, repair, and business skills. Finding the right mix is the first challenge, but you have total control of who is in the band, and who's out. Maybe you'll turn out like Dave Mustaine, kicking members out every album, or perhaps you'll end up like the Rolling Stones, with a solid group over the years. [more...]</em></blockquote> |

errrr wouldn't the first music based RPG be "A rockstar ate my hamster". I remember playing in on my c64 in the early 90's/late 80's.... |

Wow, this sounds like a lot of fun. I hope they pull it off. And fingers crossed it has a but more depth that Rockstar Ate My Hamster. There really wasn't much to that game... |
