/* Roland in the Caves */
One of the most original and brilliant games of all time has been further enhanced by the pixel precision of the [[CPC|CPC464]]. In the effort to scroll the most detailed screen of any [[CPC|CPC464]] game, there is some evidence of the picture tearing at the edges - but this does not detract from the main action of the game.
The title screen is accompanied by a jaunty rendition of '''La Cukuracha''' (I know it's not spelt like that, but when you hear the tune you'll recognise it immediately anyway!) The tune then gives way to exactly the sort of noise you'd expect to accompany a leaping flea.
Followers of games where virtually every key on the keyboard is needed will be surprised to learn that the only keys needed for this game are the Z and /. The idea is to guide the agile Roland (who bears a striking resemblaance to a flea in this incarnation) up and out of the cave into which he has fallen.
