We don't care what Costello said, we have a dirty place in our hearts for Andrew Lloyd Webber and his special brand of garish musical spectacle. Make no mistake, if you ask us to watch a touring company of Phantom in public, we'll laugh right in your half-masked half-face. But if you sneak into our room late at night and see us singing "Only You" into our hairbrushes, don't act like you weren't warned.
So, seeing as there are millions of you reading, we're going to roll our eyes when we relay that Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group is looking to create video games, along the lines of singing games like Karaoke Revolution or Lips, based on his musicals. But know this: If you should happen to steal a glimpse of us as you walk away and see just a hint of our heads bobbing, you'll know exactly what's on repeat on our iPods.

I already have Microprose's 'Phantom of the Opera'. Was a pretty good sierra style adventure game back in the day.
I run it on my Pentium 90 which I've outiftted with 96 MB of ram, a STB Velocity 2d board, a Diamond Monster II, External midi modules Roland MT32 and SC55-MKII.
Its a pimp retro system.
