Rather boring Rock'n'Roll clone here. The only interesting thing was
the "protection" because it was so incredibly good. When I found this
text in the startup-sequence:

I knew that I was in for a good laugh. It was a lot of nonsense claiming
that there is a special protection on certain tracks which would make
the game behave like a virus and destroy tracks if it was copied.
Yeah, right. :)
And now you can have a good laugh too if I tell you what this "great"
protection actually did. Feast your eyes on this *DRUM ROLL*:
This great protection used trackdisk device to seek to track 80.
Then happened.... absolutely nothing! No check, no track read, nothing.
Awesome protection, isn't it?
Oh well, rest of the game is nothing special either but enjoy the patch
anyway, at least the idea of the game is nice, execution is not.
