Plot

The player begins as a vocalist with ambitions for becoming a rock star, setting a personal goal of achieving this in five years.

Once a sufficient number of songs have been written, and enough money has been made, the player can create an album which can be sold a gigs, along with T-shirts, sweatshirts, and posters, for additional profit. Although the game is either won or lost after five years, gameplay is allowed to continue after that.
