Well, I guess a little clue is in order: as you may have noticed, the main character is coming out of a phone booth (and no, it's not Dr. Who)

The only characters, except for Dr Who I associate with telephone boxes are Superman and Bill and Ted and this guy doesn't look much like either of them...

Wow, I thought no one would guess it :)
You're right, of course. I played it a lot back in the day, when the Amstrad CPC game library was really limited; not only it features the time travelling phone booth but it even rips off the DrWho tune in the starting credits:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6O9QiKO4xw
I don't know why the "Roland" naming, maybe they couldn't get hold of the rights, or perhaps they didn't even try to :)
Anyway, it's your turn.

Apparently 'Roland' was a character Amstrad were trying to make popular at one point, there's another Roland game anyway:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/roland-goes-digging
Roland on the Ropes (aka Fred on C64, Speccy etc)
Roland in the Caves
Roland in Space
Roland in Time
Roland on the Run
Few others also
If you head here :
http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=accueil
and enter roland in the search box a lot of the games are listed there, I don't believe it is all of them though.

Which was still quite difficult, but after a bit I saw which country you were from and I remembered the Amstrad CPC being quite popular in Spain. And I came across an old Dr. Who game that reminded that 'phone booth' is a primarily American term whilst in the UK they used 'phone box'.
Then I had the correct search terms :P
Anyhoo, here's a game I came across whilst searching for 'your' game.

As it has been my turn just before, I won't say it unless no one comes up with the right answer.
Very interesting, I grew up on the 8-Bit era, and although my home computer was a C64, I had a close friend who had an Amstrad, so I have played a lot of those games. I love learning about all that retro stuff, thanks.
