Based on the hit play and film of the same name CRL has brought the humour of the movie to the small screen. Your task as either the hero Brad or heroine Janet is to rescue your boy or girl friend (who you are and who you have to rescue depends on the choice you make at the beginning of the game) from being turned to stone by the dreaded Medusa machine operated by the equally dreaded Dr Frank 'n' Furter. To do this you must find and assemble all the pieces of the Demedusa machine before the time limit runs out and the house blasts off into space, but all is not as simple as it sounds.   
As well as coping with laser barriers, locked doors and a freezer room you must deal with the inhabitants of the house. Some are quite friendly and just steal your clothes or say lines out of the film but others like the manic depressive butler. Riff Raff, quite happily kill you — it's up to you to discover for yourself who is and who isn't friendly The Amstrad version of The Rocky Horror Show looks and plays exactly the same as that on the Spectrum, the only difference boing that hero there is an annoying flicker. There is a good version of the Time Warp song play ing throughout (thankfully this can be switched off by those who hate games with continual sound).
Generally, the game is quite fun to play but it doesn't take many people long to complete it. Not bad value for money but no long term interests in this. Overall AMTIX! rating: 69% |
