Roland Rat

Roland Rat, the star of TV am is not starring in his very own computer program.

The game begins with Roland Rat finding that his car won't start in the morning and he must get to work in time for the beginning of the show or the TV producer will give him the sack.

So Roland decides to go back underground, to the scene of his life before becoming a super-star rat - the sewers of London.

Roland's Rat Race

You enter the sewer and run around looking for the parts of the secret door. Once you've put them in place, you must find the key to open the door and free your two friends. You then must find your way through the maze of tunnels and sewer pipes until you happen upon the tube train.

Then you must get on it at all costs and take the tube to Camden Town - the nearest shop to TV am's studios.

As you guide Roland through the maze of tunnels, you are pursued by many varying opponents and obstacles which you can immobilise temporarily with your glue gun.

But be careful because you yourself can become glued to the floor.

Amusing if not particularly stretching. Suitable for younger gamers.
