## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Are you ever going to sort out that beam?

*2024-02-05, version 3.1*

The beam can’t be switched off so the game can’t be finished. 
And the “pokes” don’t work.

### 1/5 — Im disappointed.

*2016-01-01*

I absolutely love Rocky horror and this just made it sad and made me angry i tried to pick things up but never worked!

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2015-12-21*

I'm a huge fan of the rocky horror show. But story mode does not work. I'm mad I spent the money on a game that doesn't work. Please fix ASAP. All though quick play does work.

### 3/5 — Impossible

*2017-02-14, version 3.1*

It's looks and feels great but it's physically impossible to get past the beam - the timer is too short. Have compared it with YouTube videos of the original and they have a fraction of a second longer to do it. A Shame really. Would have been 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Update needed

*2021-05-18, version 3.1*

Loved this game as a kid brings back memories playing it again . Controls are a bit slow could do with new update to fix bugs etc.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2016-08-21, version 3.1*

I'm enjoying this, well worth a play!

### 4/5 — I like it

*2016-08-19*

It worked fine for me and I love the retro style. I don't understand why people are disliking it.

### 4/5 — Pretty fun

*2012-06-01*

Get this if you love retro video games and Rocky Horror. It's awesomely bad, but addictive - just like the movie.

### 4/5 — Classic Speccy Game at a Good Price

*2012-03-30, version 1.0.0*

Now, unlike Elite Systems with their 1.49 a game madness, Jonathan Needle has correctly marked these almost 30 year old games. Rocky Horror Show, of course based on the classic movie/musical, has you controlling either Brad or Janet as you help the other out by finding parts of a De-Medusa Machine to put an end to the madness in the mansion.

The game plays off like a few other Speccy games I recall and has a wonderfully addictive quality to it. What amazes me is how these games still play most incredibly after all these years and are even better than most games today.

A great game that should be on every Speccy fans wish list.

### 4/5 — Pretty awesome!

*2012-02-04*

Pretty good game. I enjoy. was a bit confused at 1st but I'm gettin the hang of it. Love it tho

### 5/5 — Gonna give you some terrible thrills

*2021-05-04*

Fun, retro game! Would love to see the other Rocky Horror game put on here!

### 5/5 — Retro-tastic!

*2013-12-12, version 2.0.0*

I loved this game when I was younger. Never clocked it but good old fun. Controls are a bit hard to use but still enjoyable. I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2012-02-03*

It plays great! Except the controller needs some fixing. Just a little bit.
