One '''Roland in Time''' is a platform game from [[Amsoft]]/[[Gem Software]]. This game is included on : [[Amstrad PP5 Compilation Disk]]. On France was called : '''Roland Voyage dans le Temps'''. '''Roland in Time''' is one of the better Platform best platform style games - and one of the first to be produced - complete with a semi-decent rendition of the the theme from Doctor Who. This can be seen as some sort of Coloured Jet Set Willy clone.
[[Roland]] has to jump between ten different times zones using his phone box, collecting crystals.
Oddly addictive and good fun to play.
== Trivia ==
*The name of the game could have been ''"Doctor Who I "''.
Both Roland in Time and [[Roland in Space]] are a tribute to a British television series produced by the BBC: Doctor Who.
*The series theme song (composed by Ron Grainer) also sounded in the introduction of Roland in Time.
*And curiously, in this same game was an enemy called Gilder Cyborg whose appearance reminiscent of a Dalek, the mutant organism that wanted his race was the hegemonic.
*In Spain it was not issued the original TV series, so the spanish editor of Amsoft, [[Indescomp]], changed the cover ... [no one would understand the reason of the scarf and the telephone box...]
*In France too the doctor Who franchise was unknown at the time(lord).
*The Roland's sprite with the clashing colours is somewhat related to the sixth doctor's vividly coloured costumes... (also known as the Doctor Clown..?) played by Colin Baker from 1984-1986.
*But the hat is also typical from the 7th doctor (Sylvester McCoy) from 1987-1989, who also sported coloured clothes.
*Roland in Time was also released on the Tatung Einstein as Time Trap by Tatung Einsoft.
