ROLLERGAMES pinball - Let The Good Times Roll!

This is a 1990 Williams pinball initially made for use in Germany. It's based on a 90's American Gladiator-like TV show featuring rollerskates. Lot's of details on the pinball game can be found on the Internet Pinball Machine Data Base.

Refurbished

I've restored the game with a few new bulbs as well as new rubber and plastic details. Parts4pinballs in Sandefjord, Norway supplied the spare parts. Excellent service and fast delivery.

Some small electrical faults has also been corrected. Normal carnuba car wax was used as playfield polish.

Use

A fast and fun game with lots of special features. Very addictive (or annoying) music, voice and sound effects.

Atari Gravitar arcade game

I have a heavily modified Gravitar cabinet, hosting a lot of oldies JAMMA based original game boards. I have made a relay matrix to be able to change between games without unplugging them,

A new video screen is mounted on a

metal ring with ball bearings enabling

rotation from vertical to horisontal

position depending on the game needs.

Also, a 4-way joystick have been added to conform with the added game facilities.

I've kept all original Gravitar hardware so it's possible to restore the game to original state. This include the special vector-based screen, a very scarce item I've heard.

The following games are installed:

Donkey Kong Jr. (1982)

Ms Pac Man (1981)

Bomb Jack (1984)

Asterix (1992)

Star Force (1984)

Cobra Command (1984)

Snow Bros. (1990)

Circus Charlie (1984)

Norico cocktail-style Black Line arcade game

I bought a cocktail table in early 2009. The RGB screen had seen better days and the cabinet itself was a bit scruffy. The original tinted glass top was heavily scratched and with a dull grey/black overlay with the text BLACK LINE. I changed it to a new tempered glass top bougth from Oslo Glass og Vindu and installed a custom made overlay bought from Arcade overlays. The cabinet parts has been resprayed and is looking good. Both control panel has been resprayed with wrinkle paint to obtain a durable surface.

I wanted a multigame config and bought a iCade 60-in-one multi arcade game from Jammaboards. The card contain almost all of my favourite games from the ´80s.

A standard no-cost 19" Compaq S910 VGA CRT was installed instead of buying a new CGA RGB screen. This gives a good crisp picture since the iCade card has both RGB and VGA output. I also have installed a proper JAMMA interface instead of the somewhat odd Norico style connector. A power switch and a volume control placed inside the coin box compartment simplifies use.

Here's some pictures:
