[[Micromega]] are further proof that for connoissuers of good software that its quality rather than quantity that counts in the end. If all they produce is one game every 3 months, and they're all as good as this, then you'll need three months before you are ready for the next one anyway!

===[[Roland in the Caves]]===
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.
Pressing the key for a brief time causes the hop to be restrained - although to get a full blooded leap you must time the depression carefully until the power has peaked, as indicated by a bargraph at the top left of the screen.
The only problems are the [[Roland]]-eating flowers that litter the cave ledges, and the hungry and ubiquitous pterodactyl whose unwelcome attentions you will do well to avoid.
One tip for the beginner - always start by jumping right, or you will end up leaping down the gizzard of the flying menace.
The game sets a high standard.
