Player's Review
"Description from Mobygames:-
Play as either Brad or Janet to rescue the other, in this computer adaptation of the hit Broadway Musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Search the castle for pieces of the Medusa machine to free your partner from stone and escape the castle before it blasts off. Each one must be taken to the De-Medusa machine, only carrying one at a time. You must collect keys and disable force fields along the way.
Other characters in the game will hinder your progress by stealing and hiding your clothes or other objects you may be carrying. Watch out for Riff-Raff or he'll shoot you with his laser gun. And if Eddie thaws out and escapes from the freezer, he'll run you over with his motorcycle."
A lesser known version of the game which features even more changes over the original US C64 release. The lift bug has been fixes an auto pops you out as expected. An extra room outside was added as well as a dungeon which is fiendish and will kill you if you put a foot wrong. The timer seems to be a bit tighter than the C64 game although not as bad as the eu release. A notable addition is the music with the volume changing depending on your position relative to the theatre room.
If you are lucky, running into the castle occupant's will just cause you to lose your clothes and then you need to go and find them in order to carry items. You can be insta killed by being shot with the death ray or walking into the lightning field as well as being run over my Eddies bike.
Dying causes the credits roll. Running out of time shows the castle flying off to Transylvania before rolling the credits and escaping the castle just shows you the castle before rolling credits. Overall it feels very unrewarding for the effort and running out of time gives the most interesting ending.
Overall like other C128 game versions, the game isn't really taking advantage of anything the C128 offers apart from making a little use of the extra ram available although it is objectively the best version of the game. However, the game runs quite slow and it's not the killer app to show off and justify upgrading from a Commodore 64.
