Rock 'n' Roll (computer game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rock 'n' Roll is a computer game for the Commodore 64, Atari ST and Amiga, published by Rainbow Arts in the 1980s.

Rock 'n' Roll is an action-oriented puzzle game with 32 levels (plus a secret bonus level). You control a ball (steered with the mouse on the Amiga or the joystick on the Commodore 64) and your job is to reach the exit on each level.

Numerous objects help or hinder your path to the exit. These include locked doors that you need to find a key to, ice which hinders your steering, fans that push you away or magnets that pull you toward them, crumbling floor tiles, and others. A map of the level is accessible at any time, but it starts out completely blank. You have to collect eyes along the level to make various objects visible on the map.

The name "Rock 'n' Roll" comes from both the aspect of "rolling" your ball along the level, and the various catchy Rock and roll -inspired tunes that play as the background music.
