Play Rollergames Online

Konami released Rollergames for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, a time when the console was packed with licensed games and quirky action titles. It was based on a short-lived animated series about violent roller derby, a concept that felt both bizarre and perfectly at home on the NES.

You control one of three skaters, each with slightly different stats, and your goal is to defeat rival teams across six stages. The core gameplay involves skating forward, jumping over obstacles, and punching or performing special spinning attacks to take out opponents. You also collect power-ups to increase your attack strength and a special meter that lets you unleash a screen-clearing super move. The pacing is relentlessly fast, and the difficulty is brutal, with enemies swarming from all directions and instant death pitfalls everywhere. It feels like a chaotic, slightly unfair brawl on wheels, but the unlimited continues mean you can always brute force your way to the next match.
