It's Only Rock 'n' Roll by K-Tel. Properly superb. Far better than Rock Star Ate My Hamster.

Are you allowed to vote for your own games?

I think it's shameful. Especially when, as far as BASIC games go, Sixteen Skirmish is much better.

The UDG graphics are loaded separately using LOAD ""CODE. You probably assumed it was Assembly code.

I suspect he was thinking that the graphics were drawn using basic commands, and that the game could have been published as a type-in.
Obviously there's no clear definition of a basic program...

At least I digged out my ZX Microdrive cartridge with the bugfixed version of the type-in, including my own loading screen and a self-created font (provisionally published here). I even found the original letter that came from Computer & Video Games in reply to my bugfix description (and gaming tips...).
