I worked in an arcade when that game came out, and it was a bust. If they wanted to make a game that profiled the life of a rock band, it wouldn't look like fucking Galaga. There would be roadies carrying equipment across dangerous planks of wood that were laid to cover a mud or lava covered area, kind of like Donkey Kong, or some shit like that. And the final goal being the presentation of the concert.

I was always in my cousins arcade ..before & after work...
Wish I had 1/2 of the quarters I lost there..Space Invaders especially..
What was the name of that one game..it was cubes & you had to jump up and down them?
