Guitar Hero For The Commodore 64 In 8-Bit Action

Remember Shredz64, Toni Westbrook's Guitar Hero retro port to the Commodore 64? What was once nothing but a fun concept is now a reality, with a playable C64 version of Harmonix's rhythm game that uses a standard guitar controller. It doesn't play stock tunes, as you might expect, but SID files, which Westbrook demonstrates in the above clip. The tune? The Legend of Zelda Overworld Theme, something that only makes us pine for Nintendo remixes in future Wii versions of Guitar Hero.

For more, without all the exposition, check out the second clip.

Guitar Hero For The Commodore 64

The Commodore 64's fondly remembered SID audio chip seems like a perfect match for a retro rhythm game, doesn't it?

Lo-fi hacking at its best.

A Very Small Commodore 64

How darling! Insert Credit points to Jason Winters and his Commodore 64 palmtop. Backstory: Jeri Ellsworth created a line of C64 plug 'n plays that were sold to Walmart and the like. The interesting part was that she put the entire thing on a chip, making it possible to create devices like this truly cool C64 palmtop. Nice work. Brian Ashcraft More »

Hardball in Beads

There's perhaps more likely games to capture in bead bracelet form than Summer Games and Hardball for the Commodore 64. But it's the implausibility of taking the pixellized audience from the game and making it into a bracelet that makes Joe Beuckman, a Southern Illinois physics student, a minor genius.
