XONOX's

It's Only Rock 'N' Roll


In this brilliant text and graphics game, you start with a guitar, a few
bucks and enough raw talent to sit in with the Stones or the Police.

Now you've got some big decisions to make as you pick one of three levels
and let IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL take you down a whirlwind road seeking the
unbelievable wealth, status and popularity poiints you'll need to suceed.

If you're really good - if you can avoid exhausting tours, bad managers,
lousy material and _too_ much fun - if you can keep your money, stay happy,
and interpret the record charts and newspaper headlines - you'll be the all

Fail and you'll be playing the opening act blues.

But whether you end up a superstar or a hasbeen, IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL AND
YOU'LL LIKE IT! LOVE IT! YES YOU WILL!
