Frets of Fire

[imnotmikal]

Are you too poor to pay for a $75-100 game and guitar mix?
Look no further, use your keyboard as a guitar and play:
Frets on Fire!

Well, now that that's out of the way,
It's pretty much a Guitar Hero rip-off, but fun non-the-less

This is how you hold your keyboard:
F1-F5 keys are the fret buttons, and enter or shift is the pick.

I have a laptop, so I had to scrounge up my old wireless keyboard, or else it wouldn't be as fun!

I used to play it and had custom songs, but then GH came around....

[imnotmikal]

Oh... Was it out before Guitar Hero?

[xmodificationer]

I mean before I got GH. But its pretty cool since you can put your own songs on it.

[imnotmikal]

Oh I thought you meant you played it until Guitar Hero came out.
Haha.

i just downloaded it and it locked up my mac

[imnotmikal]

Well it sucks for you.
You got the mac version right?
And also, make sure your firewall is set to allow it, I had to restart my computer, it locked up too the first time, but i changed my firewall settings it was ok.

Check this thread.
FoF recommends this to all Mac users.
Don't know if it actually helps or not.

why would you try to play this at school? where i go we get expelled for that stuff,

[imnotmikal]

It would be amusing to me if I was a teacher and I saw students playing it.
Just look at how you're supposed to hold the keyboard and picture students doing that in class... :lol:

[skyline_man_99]

uhhmmm knvictd, you know its Frets On Fire Right?

lol this is a really fun game to play but i think guitar hero is way better.

EDIT: Nvm, the heading is frets of fire but then the first post says frets on fire... my bad.

[imnotmikal]

:p I wasn't paying attention.
I just downloaded a song pack, so I've been playing a lot of Korn and Marilyn Manson

[Titantaw12]

Well the game looks fine to me.

[lilskipro587]

Ha I downloaded this game last night and have all the GHII and GHIII songs with a database of over 800mb! Love this game because I don't have GH. Thinking of getting a cheap wireless keyboard and a broken GH Guitar or something cheap and fashioning it all up.

[imnotmikal]

I got a cheap wireless keyboard!
Haha it was like $20 for a keyboard and mouse.
I downloaded a GHI pack, GHIII, and a pack of random songs.
