Due to patent concerns, we won't be able to include any games in Fedora which meet the following criteria: A game where "targets" move across the screen to a predetermined point or line, where the player hits a button/key/mouse click as the target(s) crosses that point or line, and gets points.

[Why does this stupid patent exist at all? It should have been laughed out of the PTO on first sight. - Sander]

Anybody out there can lay your hands on a copy of Easy Guitar for the Commodore 64 by DJ Software, Circa 1986-1989

From memory it includes such a game with the fret positions mapped to the keyboard.
