Bi-Fi Roll - Action in Hollywood is a point-and-click adventure. During his vacation job as a courier, the student Lukas has to deliver a screenplay directly to the managing director of a film studio, only to find that he disappeared. As he searches the building for him, he notices peculiar mishaps.

The game was an advertisement for a German snack brand and freeware from the beginning. It was praised for its moderate length and humor, cracking many puns on famous films and stars. In contrast, the advertising is unobtrusive and said by a few gamers to have had no effect on them.

Music

The titles are unofficial and based on the respective song's first (and in case of Main Menu and Labyrinth, only) appearance in the game. The remaining appearances seem unrelated to each other.

Secretary is the same as Doorman without the outdoors sound effect and with a later loop point.

The DOS version has completely different, more lively music by Jochen Heß.

Recording

All songs were recorded from WinUAE 3.6.1 with the stereo separation set to 100%, as per a real Amiga.
