Roller Jammer[a] is a 1984 racing video game developed by Alice and published by Nichibutsu for arcades. It was released in Japan in 1984 and North America in March 1985.[1] Hamster Corporation acquired the game's rights alongside Nichibutsu's portfolio, releasing the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in July 2022.[2][3]
Gameplay
[edit]The player controls a roller skater who races against teams of other skaters.[3] The game starts with a training course where the player grabs flags while skating along a path. In the actual race, the skater attempts to pass other skaters or punch them off the path, while navigating increasingly tight paths; passing a set number of skaters grants points and extra time. The game ends when the allotted time limit, providing that the player could not acquire extra time on time, passes.[4]
