Elysian Shadows

Has anyone heard of this game?

I went to Sega GameWorks this weekend and stumbled upon a little guitar-based rhythm game called Guitar Freaks. At first glance, I was like, "Wow, it a cheap knock-off of Guitar Hero, only with shitter graphics and music." But, the game was released in 1999 - 6 years before Guitar Hero!

I haven't been to an arcade in a while, so perhaps I'm just out of the loop, but I thought this was rather interesting. Guitar Hero gets so many accolades for innovation, but Konami deserves the credit.

I had heard of it (in an oxmuk podcast) but I'd never seen it running before.

Interesting.

yeah they had one in the arcade back where im from in south africa. they also had a drum version. guitar hero and rock band were not original by a long shot.

never played them thos. i dont like touching things a million other people have.

never seen this, now RB/GH doesn't seem as innovative as I thought they were.
