Summary

RollerGames on the NES drops you into a side‑scrolling platform romp that leans heavily on the TV show’s colorful cast, even though the sport itself never shows up in the code. You can pick from three skaters – the T‑Birds’ Robert “Icebox” Smith, Hot Flash’s Vicki “Sly Fox” McEuen, or the Rockers’ Mike “California Kid” Flannigan – each with their own quirky nickname. Odd‑numbered levels force you to race against the clock while bashing through waves of rival skaters and goons, ending each of those stages with a showdown against Ms. Georgia Hase, Guru Drew, or the mysterious Skull. The even‑numbered stages swap the timer for pure obstacle‑dodging, tossing barrels, flamethrowers and even bomb‑dropping helicopters in your path, and they give you a breather before the next timed sprint. The final, sixth stage brings back the countdown and pits you against a nameless villain; beat him and you’re treated to a gallery of the skaters with Bill Griffiths and a congratulatory shout‑out from commentator Wally George.

Storyline

Rollergames on the NES opens with announcers Chuck Underwood and David Sams reporting that the sport’s commissioner, Bill Griffiths, has been taken hostage. A shadowy alien mastermind is backing the three Eastern Empire squads – the Violators, the Maniacs and Bad Attitude – along with their quirky managers, The Skull, John “Guru” Drew and Ms. Georgia Hase, in a scheme to sabotage roller‑derby and seize control. The player is introduced by Shelley Jamison, who asks which of the three rough teams they’d like to join, and the game lets you pick a different squad for each stage. As the Western Alliance teams – the T‑Birds, Hot Flash and the Rockers – battle through the league, the story builds toward a showdown with the nameless alien villain. Defeating that final foe frees Bill Griffiths and restores order to the sport.
