Rock Hard: 1977

Ever dream of being a rock star?

It's 1977. You're an up-and-coming musician, dreaming of making it big with your band. Over the next few months you'll rehearse, play gigs, write songs, and promote your band. With careful planning and a little luck, you'll earn the most fame and become the best new artist of the year.

Designed by Jackie Fox (member of the 1970s rock band "The Runaways" and four-time Jeopardy! champion), and illustrated by Jennifer Giner, Rock Hard: 1977 is played over a maximum of nine rounds, each representing a typical day of one month in 1977.

You win the game by accruing the most fame. How? Increasing reputation, chops and songs; achieving production, performance, and publicity bonuses; getting record deals and earning royalties; playing concerts; and hanging out at the hottest after-hours spot. Ready to live like a rock star?

Need some extra energy to accomplish everything? You can buy some "candy", but be careful that you don't suffer a "sugar crash" and have to spend a day in "Recovery".
