Rollerball is a classic pinball simulation developed by HAL Laboratory and released for the NES in 1990. Instead of a single static screen, it features an ambitious, continuously scrolling four-tiered table modeled after the skyline of New York City, providing a deeper and more dynamic pinball experience than many of its contemporaries.
How to Play
The objective is to score as many points as possible by hitting targets, completing sequences, and keeping the ball from draining at the bottom of the table. In the browser, the standard NES controls apply: use the Arrow keys for the D-pad and Z and X for the A and B buttons to operate the flippers and launch the ball, with Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- The table is divided into four distinct height tiers; focus your attention on mastering the flippers in the current tier to prevent the ball from dropping to the level below.
- Look for the slot machine feature in the upper sections of the board, as matching symbols there is one of the most reliable ways to rack up high scores and earn extra balls.
