A conversion of their Indescomp's [[ZX Spectrum]] hit ''Bugaboo the Flea'', '''''Roland in the Caves ''''' was many a frustrated gameplayer's first encounter with Alan Sugar's machine thanks to its being bundled as a giveaway with the CPC464 in 1985.
== '''Description''' ==
You are far ahead in time, the year 2464 AD and your Space Time Machine has landed on an alien planet, and being of an inquisitive nature, you decide to explore it. You have been gifted with a special kind of power that aids you when you are exploring strange planets. You are able to mutate into the alien beings' form. On this mysterious planet of Ivorus, the beings are minute and flea-like with amazing jumping powers. However, during your exploration, you take an unexpected trip and fall down and down and down through a deep and dark pot hole into a strange cave. All around you are flesh-eating plants, not to mention a hungry pterodactyl......
When you eventually get out of the cave, the score is multiplied by a number which depends on the game skill level.
== '''Ratings''' ==
In perhaps a tiny overstatement, ''[[Amstrad Computer User]]'' declared that "One of the most original and brilliant games of all time has been further enhanced by the pixel precision of the CPC464." Take that with a truckload of salt - such was common practice in the early days of ''ACU'' keeping on the good side of the boss was always a good idea!

* Part of the original CPC464 bundle - the twelve programmes given away by Amsoft with the machine.
* Allegedly suggested as a joke when being shown the game, Alan Sugar thought that the character should be renamed 'Roland' after lead 464 designer Roland Perry. He was taken at his word, Indescomp rebranded ''Caves'' and one of their other launch titles ([[Roland on the Ropes|Fred]]) to incorporate the character - a mascot was born!
== '''By the Same Author''' same author ==
The following game was also written by [[Paco Suarez]]:
* [[The Galactic Plague]] (1984)
