A conversion of their [[ZX Spectrum]] hit '''Fred''', Roland on the Ropes was the second of [[Indescomp]]'s launch titles for the [[CPC]] and followed a simplistic ladders and platform format.
== '''DescriptionInlay Text''' ==
You have entered into a vast and dark mysterious tomb. You find yourself right at the lowest level of the tomb and must endeavour to find your way through the maze to the top encountering may hostile beings who are out to get you. Be brave and fearless as you climb your way through the numerous levels but BEWARE.....
Being the intrepid Roland, you are able to jump over the rats to escape them and to defend yourself you can shoot at the mummies, skeletons or vampires, inevitably killing them. But shooting the ghosts merely frightens them away and there is no escape from them.
