Okay, so you can’t technically play Guitar Hero on your old Commodore 64. However, you can play Shredz64 on it. What is Shredz64? Well, basically it’s a stripped down version of Guitar Hero for a twenty-five year old computer.

Shredz64 won’t play the digital music tracks you’re used to, but programmer Toni Westbrook has assembled a track list of synthesized tunes for you to rock out to. Best of all, he even created a go-between to connect the Guitar Hero controller to the Commodore 64 system. How does it look and sound? Surprisingly, it looks like great fun and an excellent example of how pure computing power alone isn’t needed to make fun games.
