About this game

Basstour is a DOS game from the early 90s, combining elements of arcade-style action and music. In this game, players embark on a tour across different locations as a bass guitarist. The gameplay revolves around the concept of touring the country, playing gigs, and battling through various challenges to progress in the music industry. In Basstour, you play the role of a bass player in a band. The games premise involves your character traveling from city to city, performing concerts to gain fans and popularity. Along the way, you encounter different challenges such as performing well at concerts, managing your bands image, and even dealing with the chaos of touring life. Touring: The central mechanic of the game is the idea of touring. Players navigate through different cities, booking concerts, and performing to build their fanbase. As you travel, you encounter different situations that could affect your band’s success, such as fan reactions or media reports. Concert Performance: A large portion of the gameplay involves playing bass guitar during live performances. The gameplay might require you to hit notes or follow a rhythm, similar to rhythm-based games, where you have to play in time with the music. You might have to match the beats or notes in time with the music, as the crowds enthusiasm depends on how well you perform during these gigs. A successful concert earns you money and fans, which allows you to improve your band and progress through your tour. Managing the Band: Players need to make decisions on how to manage the band and deal with the stresses of life on the road. You may have to handle the mood of band members, keep everyone happy, and avoid things like band disputes or poor performances. In some versions of the game, you might be tasked with managing finances, choosing venues, or even deciding which cities to perform in to maximize popularity. Leveling Up: As you progress through the game, you can improve your bands performance by gaining better instruments, increasing your popularity, or unlocking new features. The ultimate goal is often to become a successful rock star, having built a loyal fanbase and completing a successful tour. Challenges: The game introduces various challenges, such as overcoming bad reviews, dealing with personal band conflicts, or performing at increasingly larger venues.
