Hello! You might imagine my surprise
to see a boxed copy of this Stones
CD Rom in a used store window for
$10!!! Of ocurse I scouped it up
immediately, and raced home with
it thinkng perhaps I'd found the
Voodoo Lounge holy grail.

IMHO the graphics, tho neat, are not as
high resolution as we'd expect today, the
features a trite gimmicky. I suppose ones
looking for things to click on at the bar,
on the dance floor, I mostly just seem to go
in circles, tho have found a few backstage
things (ho hum), some VL videos (okay), got
to hear a few Keith Richards witticisms etc
etc, see a few light shows with a dancing
devil but but but....................?

Am I missing something here? Are there hidden
cookies or a users guide revealing extra neato
stuff to discover? Or is this just rather dated
now? Quite cool at the time but perhaps moreso
a curio today........................?


BTW great package/ cover.

One of my pals had a demo of that CD-Rom.

I recall an acoustic (?) guitar duet w/ Keith/Ron, dance remixes of some VL singles, the bluesmen, & never getting it to work properly.

If I'm correct, try to pick up a card from the bar(man) and you can go on deeper and you can see alittle bbit more, like Ronnie ans Keith jamming on accoustic guitar and clips of old blues men

Yeah wow what a CD-Rom! Hahaha. In 1995 this was spectacular I suppose, but nowadays... Every website has more gimmicks... I remember putting in a PC two or three years later with some hundred MB RAM and that thing tells me I need minimum 4 or 8 MB RAM !!! LOL !!!

Yeah I suppose it is some interest as a collectable
nineties Stones type of thing but it's amazing how
quickly the technology has been overshadowed. I don't
think I like it when the Stones try to be "contemporary"
seems kinda gimmicky in retrospect, doesn't hold up well,
with this anyway, and maybe the dance remixes too.......

Just wanted to add that you need a software patch to get this to work in most modern systems (you do get that "need 8k RAM" message otherwise). I found that out when I picked it up for a dollar off e-Bay. The postage cost more than the disc! The patch is posted somewhere on the 'net. The CD-ROM is campy fun that is amusing for about 15 minutes. Sort of like the Stones video game where you have to capture bras and fend off beer bottles and men's underwear.

So no thinks this is their latter day masterwork???

Ha ha no way!

I didn't need a patch and
I'm running it on Windows XP.

This was really ahead of its time when it first came out. I seem to remember that my own computer had nowhere near enough memory to run it so I had to get some more.

If you think about it, this was probably the first interactive video game about a real band.

The soundtrack was mostly re-maixes of the VL singles. I seem to remember that you could have a piss next to Keith or sit on the Veranda listening to Ron and Keith jam songs.

The original Stripped CD had a taster on it.

Marrianna: Where can I get that fix from because I wouldn't mind loading it up again for a look.

I would've thought it would at least
be a collectable, but if it's selling for
as cheap as a dollar on ebay........
I paid $10 but am content to tuck it away
and see what happens in the future....

what happens in the future? nothing. i cannot play it yet anymoren and i dont think that will change in the next computer generations. i still got a c64 game on tape (!!!) Paul McCartney Give My Regards To Broad Street from about 1985. Hell, is this supposed to be worth anything? I mean have you still got a datasette or what it was called. lol.

Hmm, I needed to get a software patch for my '99 computer that uses Windows '98. I haven't tried the CD-ROM on my newer laptop with XP. So, that might be an odd effect of the upgrade of XP. You can run a 1995 CD-ROM and not have a problem.

Yeah it works on my pentium 3 clone
with XP, no patch, so I dunno.......

Yeah---got this last week----30 cent
