Virtuoso is a third-person shooter video game developed by MotiveTime and originally published by Nova Spring and Elite Systems in North America and Europe, respectively, for DOS in 1994.
Virtuoso is a game set in the year 2055 where the player is a rock musician who fights in Virtual Reality.
A port of Virtuoso for the Atari Jaguar CD was announced in the January 1995 issue of online magazine Atari Explorer Online and was in development by Williams Brothers Developments and planned to be published by Telegames.[1] It was originally slated for a Spring/Summer 1995 release and later planned for a Q2 1995 release.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] However, Telegames UK president Pete Mortimer stated in an email exchange with website CyberRoach that work on the port and other upcoming titles from the company for the Atari Jaguar platform were suspended after sales of previous titles published by them were not profitable.[7]
Next Generation gave two stars out of five for PC version of the game; the magazine was critical to its gameplay and called it a Doom clone without the first person perspective or fun.[8]
Electronic Gaming Monthlys Seanbaby placed it as number 5 in his "20 worst games of all time" feature.[9]
