Roland's hers again! And this time ha takes the form of a metagalactic flea Pretty clever, this Roland chap, to look so different in so many games. Actually Roland in the Caves is really a conversion of Indescomp's Boogaboo the flea, and a very nice implementation it if as woll. Careless Roland has fallen into in strange cave on an even stranger planet and using his amazing lumping abilities he must reach the surface to relative safety and a nice cup of tea Trying to turn you into pot noodle is the local pterodactyl who seems much swifter on the Amstrad version than his relatives on the Spectrum and Commodore 64. Other hazards include flesh eating plants (gasp!) and an out of tune rendition of La Cucaracha (Mega Gasp!). Quite a nice game, even though further examination revealed it to be mostly written in BASIC Still if being a flea is where it's at with you, then Roland in the Caves could be just what you need. G.L, BIGK
