The Musical World of Rocky Horror
Rocky Interactive Horror Show CD-ROM 10,680 views
This PC game game was released in early 1999 with a rather large marketing push (relative to other Rocky Horror products). You can still see extensive sets of web pages on the game at both TimeWarp UK and The Richard O'Brien Crusade. Unfortunately it was a bit behind the times technologically speaking (even when first released), being hampered by things like a keyboard-only interface, grainy 2-D graphics, and a MIDI music score. A sampling of reviews still on the web:
| All Game Guide | Rating: 3 stars (out of 5) | While Rocky Interactive Horror Show does seem contrived and ridiculous at times, it also offers a great deal of entertainment for fans of the movie and people who've never even heard of the show. |
| IGN | Score: 5.3 (out of 10) | Just like the movie - campy, outdated, and bursting at the seams with offbeat humor. |
| Just Adventure | Final Grade: B- | For those gamers who moan, "They don't make 'em like they used to," I offer as evidence The Rocky Interactive Horror Show, a game that looks and plays as though it were made seven years ago. |
| Quandry | Rating: 3.5 stars (out of 5) | Keyboard control, ticking clock, temperamental interface, I shouldn't have enjoyed this game at all, but I did. |
While its gameplay may have been lacking, they made up for it by featuring both Christopher Lee and Richard O'Brien himself (as the Narrator and "Game Devil", respectively) in a number of video clips played throughout the game. These included several videos shown below, where Richard O'Brien performs acoustic versions of various Rocky Horror songs. They can be played in-game at the jukebox found in the gallery, or you can play the AVI files directly off of the CD-ROM.
The CD-ROM itself also doubles as a music CD, with three tracks produced and performed by the JunkHeads. Vocals are by Richard O'Brien and Arianne. The software occupies track 1 of the CD so you just skip past that to play these songs, which are basically techno versions of the originals.
