Description
Rockstar is unlike any other game on the PC. Your goal is, strangely enough, to become a Rockstar. Through the course of your game you will have to produce singles and records, balance a hectic recording schedule with your drug intake while touring Europe and the rest of the World. Success does not come easy. An uneasy market, balanced with your own health problems leads to a very involving game.
As your success rises, so does the demand for concerts and public performances. You a forced to decide when its time for a break and when its time to go out and make some cash.
The game has a text interface, and thats all it really needs, as graphics would just complicate the issue. If you are after a graphics version, you may wish to check out

Trivia
In 1998's
issue #21 of the e-zine
The Neo-Comintern, writer BMC interviewed
Wizard Games developer "Sleepy Cat Summer" about
Rockstar, yielding a surprising revelation regarding a planned (and long-delayed) vapourware new version, to be entitled
Megastar:
"Megastar was never finished (lack of demand, lack of time etc), but it will almost certainly be completed before the Millennium (better ten years
late than never?) - the latest delay is caused byA) having to work long hours to scratch a living (whatever happened to
Shareware?)B) desire to convert the existing (incomplete) Megastar into a multi-player net-based game......
It may be shareware, may be freeware, may be subscription only....."
A further surprise revealed in the article was the disclosure of the "enhanced" audience-participation version of
Rockstar -- in which the players would drink shots and smoke reefers in tandem with their characters.
