Gameplay Based on the musical of the same name, The Rocky Horror Show has the player control either Brad or Janet as they search the castle of Dr Frank-N-Furter for pieces of the Medusa machine in order to de-Medusa the player's partner and escape. They must also find keys to open doors and along the way avoid other characters who attempt to stop Brad and Janet. Dr Frank-N-Furter, Magenta and Columbia will remove the players clothes and randomly place them around the castle, while Riff Raff and Eddie will try and kill the player. Rocky is harmless however. All the characters quote various lines from the musical when you encounter them. Development The Rocky Horror Show was published and developed by CRL Group, having made previously licensed games such as The War of the Worlds. In 1984, negotiations by CRL were made to obtain the rights to make a computer game on the property. CRL's CEO Clem Chambers claimed in an interview with GamesTM that the rights holder for the property approached the company after being impressed by their work with The War of the Worlds. Chambers stated he wanted to base the game on the environments of the stage show instead of "the elements of dubious taste in the show itself".
