The storyline is so true to life - what with the drummer and the bassist just sitting back while the guitarist and lead singer leap in to do the hard work!
Hah. I was born in '73, seen a lot of games. I've "heard" of this game's title before, but this is literally the first time I ever actually saw it. Weird, having known of a game from that era yet not ever encountering it. It's so distinct and different from other games, too.
This is basically a Gauntlet-like game. Some people say it's similar to Motorhead on the Amiga, but Motorhead is a beat 'em up game in the style of Golden Axe. The only thing the both games have in common is using guitar as a weapon.
So, what songs can people name from the background music? The intro seems original, as does the boss levels; but the gameplay seems to have a lot of existing songs. I heard "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Born in the USA." This guy: retrovania-vgjunk.blogspot.com/2014/06/rockn-rage-arcade.html finds "Like A Virgin" and "Rock Me Amadeus" as well. Note: As the songs are not credited in the game credits, they were likely not paying proper royalties. Hint: The first song in the gameplay is NOT "Round and Round" by Ratt.
Che ricordi 😂 ricordo che stavo 1 giorno intero a giocare con questo gioco con 100 lire 😎😎 litigavo spesso con il gestore della sala giochi quando mi vedeva sapeva che quel gioco era of limit's per rutti 😂
I just play that looks pretty cool and resembles allot the motorhead game in amiga,good stuff by konami.That company always had a special way to made those games.
Goes across time to save the lead singer, after rescuring her, they pick up playing again without missing a beat, sounds legit, heh, kind of a cool game, too bad there wasn't a 3 player cab, maybe even a 4 player, (dummer could use his sticks as mele weapons)
これ、確かジブンが小6くらいの頃にゲームセンターに置かれてたコナミのゲームだったねー ゲーム自体はあんまり完成度高くなかったけど、BGMに第3面のフランスのシーンでミッシェル・ポルナレフや 第4面のローマの1シーン目のビートルズ(もといアイズレーブラザーズ)のTwist and Shoutや 2シーン目のファルコのRock Me Amadeusとか･･･コレが切っ掛けで洋楽聴き始めるようになったんだよねー あと各面のボスのシーンで流れてる曲って、間違ってなければ、スコーピオンズのAnother Piece of Meatだよね?
The Video Rental Store near my school had this machine in the early 90s, it was good fun, but not as good as the Double Dragon machine they replaced with it! Nostalgic memories of many misspent lunch times!
Ugh, of course the only female in the band is the one who gets captured. Looks kinda cool but...sigh...such typical crap - (male lead and any main female character either has to be the role of "damsel in distress" or is relegated to sidekick) in the guise of an original rock 'n roll adventure game.

Reminds me of another great Konami game- Dark Adventure!!! Love that one! Awesome stuff! I was always a fan of Konami!!!!!

i think games like this much more fun, more of a cartoony feel to them. 80s were a great time too
Game of my childhood, so much memories at Arcade saloon:)
The best game ever ! The original Konami PCB game have the great stereo sound
Fantastic game ... One of best ever
Its like an early arcade version of Zombies Ate My Neighbors
quality game used to play this all the time brilliant
11:03 - "Rock Me Amadeus!"
11:09 is a Madonna' song: Like a virgin
Now,this is what the eighties is all about!!!
One of the strangest yet possibly coolest games to come out of Japan. My guess is that the music rights kept it from ever being released in the west.
It was released in the west. The JP release is called Koi no Hotrock
Perhaps just not in North America. Rock'n Rage was likely a "world" region release, which generally excluded Japan, US, Canada and Mexico.

Rare game. I find the gameplay challenging, and the quirkiness to be more interesting overall.
"OH, SHEENA!"
I feel like that shout is itself a reference to “Oh Sheila” by Ready For The World.
OMG I just heard Godfather Gordon laugh at 3:10!! (The bad guy in The Adventures Of Bayou Billy)
Really good stuff! I love your channel!

Rocksite1 definitely has "like a virgin" by Madonna too...
I definitely heard Born in the U.S.A. and Rock Me Amadeus in there.

So, this game has a Groundhog day loop at the end.
The game forever loops, so Sheena keeps getting captured every loop.
The first Boss theme sounds like Thunder Force III OST.
Scoring indicators (1P, HI and 2P) are the same of "Salamander", but the high score is not 57300 (GoNaMi)
I just play that looks pretty cool and resembles allot the motorhead game in amiga,good stuff by konami.That company always had a special way to made those games.
Must be the inspiration for the game "Brutal Legend".
I heard ZZ Top's "Stages" as well.
Timestamp?
5:35
My childhood
What is the song that plays in the castle?
Oh look it is Vinny!
Ја се бре сећам кад ова игрица била код Фото Јоце пре 20 година!!!
17:20 do you loose if not fast enough?
haha, retro and magic
15:29-15:32 Born in the USA!
3:02 Abba - Waterloo
10:13 Sounds like Richtie Valens - La bamba
13:02 could be Abba - Waterloo
Mem Mem It's not La Bamba it's Twist and Shout
No man. 10:13 is The Beatles - Twist and Shout
0:37
_"Oh Sheena!"_
But, admit it! You thought those guys were about to say "oh shit!"
Uh, no I didn’t. 😒
@@infinitygenealpa So you didn't.
@fieldshield04able and before that, Rock Me Amadeus.
Is it just me or is the opening riff for stage 1 Judas Priest's "Green Manalishi"?
Just about every track in the game is rip off.
That song was originally done by Fleetwood Mac.
That is why I specified the Priest version.
Simon le Bon on drums there
Goes across time to save the lead singer, after rescuring her, they pick up playing again without missing a beat, sounds legit, heh, kind of a cool game, too bad there wasn't a 3 player cab, maybe even a 4 player, (dummer could use his sticks as mele weapons)
Did Konami have to pay the proper royalties for this game?
They did. Through Japanese music license holder JASRAC
Where can I get it on my android cell
これ、確かジブンが小6くらいの頃にゲームセンターに置かれてたコナミのゲームだったねー
ゲーム自体はあんまり完成度高くなかったけど、BGMに第3面のフランスのシーンでミッシェル・ポルナレフや
第4面のローマの1シーン目のビートルズ(もといアイズレーブラザーズ)のTwist and Shoutや
2シーン目のファルコのRock Me Amadeusとか･･･コレが切っ掛けで洋楽聴き始めるようになったんだよねー
あと各面のボスのシーンで流れてる曲って、間違ってなければ、スコーピオンズのAnother Piece of Meatだよね?
why Waterloo in us????
I never seen this game
Ah la musique de retro&magic lors des saison 1 a 10 (maintenant c'est une autre musique malheureusement)
wow konami made some weird game before contra and tmnt.
What did you honestly expect from an arcade game from the 80's?
The Video Rental Store near my school had this machine in the early 90s, it was good fun, but not as good as the Double Dragon machine they replaced with it!
Nostalgic memories of many misspent lunch times!
This game looks super easy
This game is NOT super easy 😎 this game after 4-5 hour of game very difficult 😎👍
m8 gd bit of play but ur missing out on some valueable points an u should have at least 6 lives by now but who am i too judge gd run man!
👍
Looks like Lois from Family Guy lol
何かすごいヌルゲーだな・・・
Everything is 2 frames!!!
So... americans are cavemen wearing hawaiian shirts?
And did they just pick up a syringe at 14:00?
thinks it is meant to be a cigar, mind you it was in the USA section so could have been a hypodermic ;)
James Hetfield

This game is from 1986 - not 2011. Times were different then
