Theremin Guitar Hero

Posted by samzenpus on from the still-waiting-for-bassoon-hero dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Greig 'Theremin Hero' Stewart has developed a way to play Guitar Hero with a theremin, like an air guitar. The results speak for themselves, in this rocking video complete with awesome costumes and some sweet artwork. It even has a Co-op mode. ROCK ON! This needs to be a real product!" The beginning is a bit annoying, but this has to be one of the coolest "projects" I've seen in a long time.

    I am at a loss for words.

    I had that game on my old TRS-80 Color Computer.

    I keyed it in from Rainbow Magazine. It was less than 1 Kb.

    Things fell down from the top of the screen and you had to catch them. The end.

    Later on they remade this game a few thousand times. Stuff comes down and you have to catch it. Or shoot it. Or bounce it. Or tetris it. If you made enough mistakes, the music would stop playing.

    The only difference here is that the music happens to be licensed and your joy stick looks even dumber than a joystick.

    I can't believe this is what all the fuss is over. People pay HOW MUCH for this? They made a South Park episode about this?

    Okay. Thanks for that. I feel informed now. And rather silly for being human.
