Kenobisboch's Secret Stars
The game includes 13 Secret Stars as hidden feature. The secret roster of thirteen is composed by the owners of the streaming channel on Twitch known as Kenobisboch, with their closer friends and some weird fictional characters born and raised as myths along the hilarious moments of that channel.

Kenobisboch is a collective of retrogamers devoted to entertain and to disseminate video game culture. All the people whose represent the inner core of the community are somewhat related to video games or electronic music at a professional level.

The game has been streamed two times on that channel: the first time in date 2021-02-10 in a dedicated show, latter as the chosen game in the sixth season (S6E10) of the annual "C64 Advent Show" (AKA "Commodoro Sixtyfouro Advent Show"). The C64 version played in both the shows is a special version with different title and intro bitmap, titled Rock Star Ate My Kenobisboch.

Derivative C64 proposal made by Bisboch/HF, presented in the dedicated episode of his long lasting series "Commodore 64 Advent Show" in date 2022-12-10. The original main character has been swapped with the one taken from the self-released version of the album cover released by Bisboch himself, under the moniker "Moe Nellow".


Intro Bitmap
The intro bitmap is a heavy reworking of the original art designed on ZX Spectrum by Aleksandr Trofimchuk aka Schafft/Brothers/COM, to join the graphic compo at Chaos Constructions 2010 where it reached the 6th place. The author has kindly granted permission to retouch the original bitmap, agreeing on the result before the release.



Rock Star Goes Bizarre
To promote the launch of "Rock Star Ate My Hamster", Code Masters Ltd and the Sun newspaper ran a competition with ten runners up prizes being special edition versions of the game called "Rock Star Goes Bizarre", which are now some super rare items to find. In June 2010, a copy of Rock Star Goes Bizarre for the ZX Spectrum surfaced after the owner contacted the World of Spectrum MIA mailing list. Although initial contact was made, unfortunately only a photograph of the box was supplied by the owner "DemonEyeX". Luckily, in July 2016 a second copy of Rock Star Goes Bizarre appeared on eBay which was duly secured. This version also includes 7 additional stars, with Kylie Minogue named as 'Koily Mynose' instead of 'Bimbo Baggins' as in the regular game.

Those 7 new stars have been included in this version of the Plus/4 homebrew porting of the game.
