On the Road

Take your struggling rock band to the dizzying heights of an inter-
national tour in On The Road, a complex simulation of the heartache
and happiness of a career in the music industry.

At each stage you are presented with a list of options. You may choose
to record an album or arrange a live tour. Your band has a financial
and status rating, and those must be high enough for your decision.

When you play live, you will only be allowed a limited number of gigs
at a single venue, so plan carefully. Venues are described in terms of
Audience Quality (AQ) and Variability (AV). The AV figure represents
the degree of criticism you might expect, but the figures may not
always tell the whole story.

On The Road was a runner-up in the 1984 Cambridge Awards competition,
and was written by Ges and Hilary Taylor.
