The Rocky Horror Show is an action adventure game based on the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show rather than the stage production for which it's named after. You play as either Brad or Janet, in an attempt to find all of the pieces of the De-Medusa machine so that you can save your sweetheart and escape from the castle before it blasts off to the planet Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania.
You move around the side-view rooms of the castle while characters like Riff-Raff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie, and Dr. Frankenfurter make things very difficult for you by stealing your clothes, shooting you with lasers, and running you over with motorcycles. Like the musical, the game is very unusual, to say the least.
The Commodore 64 version has been ported over from the ZX Spectrum version, and you can tell because hardly anything has been done to take advantage of the C64's stronger graphics and audio.

Music
Like the Speccy game that it's ported from, there is only one song, and it's a very poorly arranged version of Time Warp. Little effort was made to upgrade the quality of song to the SID chip.

The HVSC incorrectly credits Bob Hartshorne as arranger, but the in-game credits says that it's Jay Derrett.
Game Rip
Ripping C64 music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
