It's Only Rock 'N Roll

Already a big name in selling records and gadgets, K-Tel is now jumping on to the software bandwagon.

But this is a bad start - and anyone joining a sophisticated market needs to make a strong opening bid.

The challenge to become a star lost attraction after one or two plays. For a program based on pop music, a machine with synthesiser ability is needed, say BBC or Commodore.

It's Only Rock 'N Roll

The Spectrum cannot do much to provide sound in the concert highlights graphics sequence, which is a waste of time and memory.

You must take directions regarding song-writing, management, concert tours, energy and cash expenditure.

You are swung between the options list, the consequences of your decision and odd newsflashes, which often appear to be of no consequence to your situation.

Can you make a million and collect three status symbols?

One of the least amusing features is the attempted humour in the random composition of song lyrics - lavatory style laughs.

If you are intent on making a million then don't invest your first £7 in this.
