Well, I did it. Oddly it wasn’t as difficult as I was expecting - certainly challenging and technically above and beyond anything else in the entire game, but instead of getting stuck repeatedly doing the same thing over and over, I did the last two bits on my first go, not knowing what to expect.
That’s right; I completed Guitar Hero.
Very satisfying it was, too. I’m giving it a rest for a few days before going back to tackle a few of the bonus tracks to improve my ratings and scores and that, and then with any luck I’m going to pick up a real guitar and blunder my way through learning some stuff again. Unfortunately initial signs do not bode well; I can’t remember a single thing but at least I’m out of the habit of gripping the neck badly, rather than positioning my thumb on the back of the neck.
Thank you videogames!
The games-buying drought has come to an end too, after selling a few bits and bobs I suddenly found myself buying a Neo Geo Pocket Color. As with anything with SNK written on it, the prices are almost a law unto themselves, certain titles hold their price like you wouldn’t believe. Indeed, UK Pocket Reversi is almost legendary in its rarity, commanding prices of up to £400 for a fully-boxed copy. In typical games nutter style, the boxes can make a massive difference to the price of a game.
Just waiting for it to be delivered now… can’t think of a decent excuse for its purchase… oops…
