Crush Roller
KEEP ROLLIN’, ROLLIN’, ROLLIN’
» ARCADE » 1981 » ALPHA DENSHI The Neo Geo Pocket Color really grabbed my attention when I was a young teenager, in part because I was aware that so many of its games had a distinguished history on other platforms. I recognised names like Fatal Fury and Samurai Shodown, and their presence intrigued me. Crush Roller was not one of those games, though – I thought it was an original game for the platform, and one that seemed like a strange choice to release since Pac-Man surely had the maze-game market sewn up already. I didn’t find out that it was a remake of an old arcade game until many years later. [I’m finding out right now -Ed]
