Roland On The Run

Help Roland and his fellow men escape from their masters in this latest game to join the continuing antics of Roland. Like all good Roland adventures there is a plot to which you must adhere...

Having found themselves cooped up in the carriage of a freight train, Roland and his friends decide to jump from their hideout onto the back of the lorries travelling close to the railway line.

To assist in their bid for freedom you must help them leap across the two lines of busy traffic, to reach their final destination.

Roland On The Run

Not an easy task, since it takes time and practice to master the timing of each jump. This can be made easier however, by adjusting the speed of the train to correspond with the speed of the moving traffic.

A 'flashing' man indicates that he is ready to jump but be careful, if a short bleep occurs you have failed to achieve a successful jump and lost the man under the wheels of a passing vehicle.

Following the high standards of previous Roland games this is no exception and will provide many hours of amusement.
