Rock Star Ate My Hamster is a management strategy computer game developed by Codemasters in 1988 and originally released on their full-price Gold label for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST. The game was written by Colin Jones, later to become known as author/publisher Colin Bradshaw-Jones.
The name of the game was inspired by a 1986 Sun headline – ‘Freddie Starr ate my hamster’ – which served as a focal point for mid-1980s tabloid culture and helped further the career of the comic in question.
