Games You (Probably) Should Have Played – Q

 
The Console Wars are in full swing. To celebrate, I’m taking this time to go back and pick the best games of all the previous generations that I think You (Probably) Should Have Played, one letter at a time.

Check out all the other entries in the Games You (Probably) Should Have Played series if you haven’t already.

Quest for Fame (PC – 1995)
You like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, right? What If I told you the same type of game existed in 1995. No, seriously, but instead of a guitar, it came with a “V-Pick” that you plugged into your printer port, and were instructed to strum across a tennis racket or baseball bat? Or they sold a special guitar for $80 that only had one string to strum on, and the string was only like 3 inches long and made of nylon. It also featured Aerosmith along with a bunch of cartoon characters teaching you play Aerosmith songs ala Roger Rabbit. It was really weird, to say the least. But it’s a good lesson in the history of rhythm games. It’s cruelly hard though, as it truly expects you to learn to play, as once you get farther along in the game, it stops displaying the on screen notes for you to follow along to. If you’re interested, most of the FMV’s from the game are on youtube to check out.
