.8 bit hero.


I just got myself a set of Guitar Hero. 

Being the "Mario Princess" - as what my peers nicknamed me (Thanks Xavier), its about time that I actually do some gaming since our family is in this mini kingdom business of gaming (it's just a small reseller shop not like I'm the daughter of CEO of Playstation or something). Think the last time i actually played and enjoyed tapping on the little remote was when my Dad 1st got me a set of ATARI. I was only 4 yrs old. Didn't quite enjoy anything else after that. 

Though I don't play games much  (even though the resources and selections are at my disposal),  I have to say it's interesting how playing sets so much motivation in one person and I would like to watch and observe that, than I want to be part of it. I enjoy watching people enjoying themselves. That's why I have a set of PS3 at my new home to entertain my guests, so I could watch them play. Uncanny.

Speaking of my irreplaceable 8-bit love. Here's an NES emulation game that plays Guitar Hero on an old skool Nintendo - created by Kent Hansen and Andreas Pedersen.



There are only 4 songs right now (donate to the creators and you could get to pick a song to go into version 2.0) but they’re the perfect four songs: “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, “Harder Better Faster Stronger” (the original Daft Punk version - not the Kanye), “The Way You Make Me Feel”, and “The Swing Of Things.”


Here's one from one of my fav. electronic music prodigies. 



You can check out vids of Pedersen playing all the songs here. If you’re really into, then sign the online petition for Ninteno Wii to produce the game.

And for those who had the luxury of getting yourself a Nintendo back in 1996. Here's a true classic to rhythmic sequence game. 




I loved that to bits. Even though I never made it past stage 5.
