This week on Virgin History, the Verge's new chat show about old technology,

1:09.7

we're talking in guitar hero.

1:14.5

You know, the game that we all spent countless hours standing in our living rooms,

1:19.3

hammering away on a plastic guitar, just trying to be rock stars. And you know what? We were rock stars. On this episode, we go through the whole history of the game, from its origins in
