Rock 'n Roll is a puzzle video game for the Commodore 64, Atari ST, Amiga, MS-DOS, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. It was published by Rainbow Arts in 1989. The idea for the game and the programming are by Frank Prasse. The soundtrack for the Amiga version was composed by Chris Huelsbeck.

The titles comes from both the aspect of rolling the ball along the level, and the various Rock and roll-inspired tunes that play during gameplay.

Controls

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.
