Rock Manager is a business simulation game for Microsoft Windows.

Gameplay

Rock Manager puts you in complete control of a rock band. Your task is simple; make them stars! Bribe the local radio station to get more airplay for your band, or buy up all your records to create increased demand. Use any means necessary to make the band climb the charts - anything goes in this strung-out world of swindle, lies and rock n' roll.

Start by putting a band together. You get to choose from a diverse list of musicians with all tastes and styles. Record a demo in studio, adding effects to the song to make is fit your image. With a demo in hand, it's up to you to bag a record deal, arrange gigs, promote your record and go on the road. But, keep an eye on your musicians and keep them happy or the band might self-destruct!

With this game you can create your own band, and try to make it successful. On each level you have a specific set of musicians to choose from, within a set area, and with set requirements of success.

First you must record your own song. Then find a company for publishing it. You must do the advertisement, find places to do gigs and eventually national/international tours. Maybe you must bribe the media to play your music.

Options are selected using an icon system, but recording and practicing takes place in real time.

There are four styles of music you can use: Rock, Pop, Punk and Heavy metal.
