IN RECENT YEARS, IBM HAS been trying to shed its decidedly uncool image. It has loosened its dress code, opened a hip World Wide Web site, and aired a series of uncharacteristically humorous TV commercials playing off various cultures around the globe. And now it has teamed with the rock band Aerosmith to publish a multimedia CD-ROM game for would-be musicians.
Created by privately held startup Virtual Music Entertainment Inc. in Bedford, Mass., Quest for Fame runs on IBM-compatible PCs with sound cards and has an anticipated street price of $48.95. Macintosh and Sony PlayStation versions are in the works, too.
