That game was 2001’s Gitaroo Man, developed by Japanese game studio Koei. But this week marks the 20th anniversary of a turbo-charged, insanely wacky cult classic that predated it all. For mass audiences in the US, that was the driving force behind long-running mega-hit series Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Maybe they’d also know every single note and have every lyric memorized. Ever wanted to be a rock star? The kind that brims with superhero energy, that can dominate the stage and hypnotize the masses? In the early 2000s, it seemed like every video gamer wanted part of the fantasy: being in a band touring the world, playing sold out crowds, and being fawned over by fans.
