Fred - Commodore 64

Me playing 'Fred' by Quicksilver a maze game on the Commodore 64 set inside a Pyramid Egyptian Tomb which you have to find your way out. You have to climb the ropes and look for a bomb to blast your way out of the exit. In this version the exit is on the bottom level, unlike the Spectrum version which the exit you have to find is on the top level and with the Spectrum version you no need to look for a Bomb. Fred a very addictive game and gets harder with each level!. Avoid the drips and ghosts and mummys, collect hidden treasure and avoid whatever else lerks in later levels and avoid your energy level from going down!

please help me, andrewshadowy. do you know any C64 game that´s very similar to "fred" mechanic? the character collects keys ( and jewels? ) while he unlocks levels of what seems an infinite maze ( the screens repeat themselves as he makes progress ). thank you!!

@peluchetaiwanes I am sorry one doesn't come to mind but maybe someone reading this may be able to help!

@Andrewshadowy Heh, I've just uploaded the Amstrad version! Hence me finding this to check out other versions - I didn't know there was a C64 or Speccy version!! I found out it was called Fred originally and went searching and here I am. It's called "Roland On The Ropes" the CPC one, I think this version is arguably technically better, but it doesn't have the same retro charm of the Amstrad one ...seems like it's less fun.

@Andrewshadowy Yeah, only Fred was renamed 'Roland'. Weird eh? Wonder if he had a European cousin named Rolando?
