Rollergames

[TNT]

Unlike many of you I haven't played a lot of these tables in person so I tend to just be looking around on pinside.

I can see why Rollergames seems pretty popular. That looks like a very cool table.

My nr. 1 most wanted. But it's a pipe dream. Maybe if tpa keeps going for another 10 seasons...

Have you listened to a youtube video of it yet for the theme song? It's "catchy" . Also, notice all those corporate logos.

 

[invitro]

I'm wondering what the first table with colored habitrails was...

Why is it a pipe dream?

This and NBA Fastbreak are my most wanted. And believe me, I've been mentioning them and begging every time I'm in contact with one of the guys from FarSight! They might be able to 'Fester' the table, just depends on the license agreement and if they would be in violation for doing that to the corporate logos.

Slice doesn't even exist anymore and GamePro went out of print years ago. Provided that the licensor for WMS approves, FarSight can just use generic logos, or even their own logo.

Everybody knows that "Encom" did not make the arcade version of Tron.

Thanks for sharing! We definitely need more unique tables in TPA. As a kid this table was more difficult because it was accompanied by taxi and bad cats, but I learned quickly that it was more rewarding to hit all the shots. We all know that if they do end up recreating this that native stereo audio is a must have! No recordings.

I wouldn't want this table butchered by bad sounds.

Exactly my thoughts. Change Pepsi to just Cola etc and get this baby made. A pin we need for sure.

Except it isn't in stereo, nor are any games from that era. Come to think of it, did WMS ever have a pin with stereo? We know Data East did.

Two words: "Jurassic" and "Park". We need BSMT2K in TPA. Actually don't we already have it in SST?

I would find it hilarious if they used the Crave logo as a 360 exclusive.

SST sounds worse than most other tables in TPA IMO, even the "tinny" system 11 Williams games. At least on the PC version., it has very muffled sound. BSMT what?

I sure would hate to hear how SST sounds in the PS4 version.

Problem is, Rollergames itself is a licensed property. It was a short-lived TV show. That's the real licensing hurdle in this game. They can change or remove the minor logos, but they can't very well change the name of the game.

 

[Michael DiFilippo]

A license that no one should deserve a headache negotiating for.

This should be easier to get than the RBON license

Some great Rollergames talk on the most recent episode of the Pinball Podcast (episode 65). Apparently there were over 8,000 of these made. I didn't think it was that common a pin.

Here's a link to the pinball podcast webpage where you can listen to the podcast.

I just discovered one of these pins in very nice condition not too far from my home in Indianapolis. My only previous encounter was at Indiana Beach. I've been playing this newly-found one a lot and it's a very fun game with a cool combo shot and a magnet-gimmick by the upper flipper. Probably the best part is the "Rollergames! Rollergames!" crowd chant that plays at the start of multiball, it really gets you pumped. All that said, the table lacks depth. Sudden Death combo shots are where all the points are and there's not many modes.

This is interesting! On the Google Play Store, I made a table request for Rollergames as my review for the game. Farsight actually responded, "A great suggestion and we will take it into consideration."

That's the first time they ever directly responded to one of my table requests.

Plus this is some kind of standard answer, similar to "great table, we would love to do it one day" - you will hear that quite often.
