Before Popscene found its natural home as a 2D mobile app, the music industry sim made its name on PC in 3D - first in 2004 and then again in 2008 in its most polished form. Back then, people were still listening to music on CD's - which you were encouraged to insert as a real backdrop to your musical exploits! It was my attempt to do for music what my wrestling games had done for that genre - immersing you in a universe full of characters with fluctuating stats on the road to success.
