Back To The Showbiz!

Rock Star Ate My Hamster MillenniumThe cult management game "Rock Star Ate My Hamster", known at the Plus/4 latitudes as Rockstar Manager comes back to a new life with this +3 crack released by FIRE.

Rock Star Ate My Hamster Millennium is a crack of the same game, but with 50 brand new stars at the pinnacle of their success in the twenty-years period 2000-2020 to play with, and Chris Graham, the original graphician behind the fantastic caricatures which made it famous, takes in 4 of them, in his very distinguishable style. From the super rare version called "Rock Star Goes Bizarre", another roster of 7 has been added too. From now on, it's no longer a matter of Wacky Jacko and Maradonna like we still are in the 80ies, it's time to reunite those two bros in the name of britpop, or put together again those two "Bad Seeds" in a band ;)
The super skilled ZX Spectrum (and lotta more than that!) Aleksandr Trofimchuk, aka Schafft/Brothers/COM, has kindly granted permission to heavily retouch and add one piece of his art, and this honors the overall release.

Luca has released it both on Commodore 64 and Commodore Plus/4 with no commercial intents as a passionate fanwork, consequently to the fact that previous cracks and homebrew conversions have been tolerated to date. As the free distribution of the ZX Spectrum original has been denied, the only data tape to be used with the original game will be released for this specific machine.

And now... "eat dirt Clive!"

It comes on two disks, one for the coloured ECM version coded by Jim Wright, and the other containing the PETSCII version converted by "an old newcomer from the golden era": Ko-Ko, who sets a double hit in few days together with PETSCII Lemmings. Included in the complete product line ("standard box"), there is a fantastic all-color 32 pages manual, an additional Plus/4 manual and a Userport interface in order to play the game with a NES pad, all in a classy exposition box. Prices are from 10 USD to 50 USD depending on the chosen product: Digital Download Only, Lite Copy, Standard Box, Autographed Box.

Overall, it's a very competent production, go to the online store to purchase your own copy.
