Keyboard Hero: Champion of Guitars
January 29th, 2009
Do you suck at Guitar Hero? Got 5 minutes to spare? Time to redeem yourself then. Sort of. Are you a Guitar Hero god? Got 5 minutes to spare? Time to return to the real world. Let’s play Champions of Guitars, a game that was based solely on this picture.
Yes 1975, it’s your old friend, text adventure! Bill Meltsner ripped off all the fancy, useless graphics that kids nowadays just can’t live without and revealed that *gasp* Guitar Hero is as repetitive as your 9 to 5 job.
Okay so there are no songs. And even if you had the reflexes of a dying turtle you’d still ace the game, as long as you typed the right response. Thankfully it’s a short game. The game’s response when you beat the game is one of the funniest, but also one of the most depressing things I have ever read. I’m glad I’m not good at Guitar Hero.
Here’s the link if you want to play the game. You can also download the game, but you’ll have to find something that reads .z5 to play it.
Go ahead, print that last screenshot. Whip it out the next time your friend showers your face with his saliva while bragging about how he’s beaten Through the Fire and Flames 1 billion times on Sadomasochistic Mode.

I love this! It combines two of my favourite things: text adventure and pointing out that Guitar Hero is really just a plastic guitar at the end of the day.
With a flourish, you lay down the guitar, finished for today. Muted applause breaks out sporadically amongst the audience. Truth be told, most of them look not so much disappointed as bored; you spy a couple of people asleep in their chairs, and the club is much emptier than you remember it being when you began to play. Still, you’re pleased with yourself for having the patience and endurance to finish the entire song. Sure, you might have missed a whole bunch of notes, but hey, at least you never completely lost control of the song. Just finishing is plenty good enough, right? You pick up the guitar and wander out the back door.
