I Am Error #1 - “When Music & Games First Met”
Shortly over a month ago, the general public was able to feast their eyes on the first edition of my monthly column, “I Am Error.” Those that perused said column knew to expect an accompanying podcast from members of the WingDamage crew approximately one month in the future. Well my friends, we totally delivered.
In this, the first WingDamage-hosted edition of I Am Error, Jonah, Dan and I discuss three instances of not-so-good retro games featuring real-life musicians - Journey The Arcade Game, The Thompson Twins Adventure and Revolution X. We also talk a bit about how real celebrities & musicians are used in modern games.
If you have any thoughts regarding the games we discussed, ideas for future themes, or just random junk you’d like to send us, email us via podcast@wingdamage.com. We’ll also accept any feedback on the theme for next month’s column & podcast, which we announce at the end of the show. Now, download and enjoy!
I Am Error: When Music & Games First Met
“I Am Error” is a new feature in which our very own Wesley Johnson will pick a few games along a theme, discuss them here on the site, and then record a podcast later in the month about those games. That’s where you come in! We want your own thoughts on the game either here in the comments or via email so we can discuss them on the new show. - Ed. note
Younger gamers may be under the impression that the world of rock music and video games first met in Guitar Hero. Well, listen here, whippersnappers: that’s completely untrue! Real-life rocknrollers have been appearing in video games since the early 80s. In this month’s “I Am Error,” we take a look at three examples of the aforementioned unholy union – Journey: The Arcade Game, The Thompson Twins Adventures and Revolution X.
If you’ve played these games in the past or have a way to play them now, please do so and email us your thoughts on them. Or you can leave a comment about your experiences below. We’ll talk about our time with each title and yours on a the upcoming companion podcast to this feature.
