Hopefully it still has the KICK BUTT jackpot music. My favorite tune in all of pinball.

There is a setting to make the KICK BUTT song not have Lyrics, but as far as the background music in general, there were two or three different roms, and each had a different background track (none as good as rock, rock, rock and rollergames), so check to see which sound rom is in the machine (use the diagnostics, NOT the sticker on the roms), and let us know which you have...

You may have the German sound ROMS installed. Is your game a reimport?

I believe the European market hated this game so much that Williams actually made separate music roms that don't sing the full verse. The words "Rock N' Rollergames" aren't sung. Are the musical instruments playing normally? If so, it sounds like you have these alternate roms.

Wouldn't mind hearing an audio recording of what it is doing!

You're right, I was thinking that it rotated the info of sound rom and game rom on the first screen in diag, but my mind slipped to a wpc game (funhouse, bride, etc) instead of a system 11.

And as others have said, each country got a different main title theme...

That's not entirely true. There were *2* sets of sound/speech ROMs for Rollergames. Only 2. One was for the German market, the other set used in the rest of the world.

I have both sets of binaries.. and a couple RG in the house, but I don't own a video camera. Maybe I can cell phone something, and YouTube it..

Still holding out for that recording

Post away. Just picked up a RG. Would be interested hearing the alt version

Where would I go to order the European rom? Really need to get rid of the rock rock rollergames chant

I just saw that Pinsound has done Rollergames and could cure all that ails - if you have $400 to sink into a Rollergames.

RG owner hand raised for alternate sound

I have all the ROMs you'll ever need for Rollergames

I just picked up a Rollergames (Serial Number 89) and have the same bit where the music for the game is not the same as the production run of the game. Do i need to change out my CPU chips (LA-2), or sound chips?

Mind BLOWN!

Hit the Wall!!
Best closing end of game match music ever!

I've never resurrected a thread this old, but seeing as though I requested a recording of the prototype music 10 years ago and then saw that I was 6 YEARS late to seeing someone had actually posted it, I just had to respond. Truly incredible and honestly an awesome alternate main theme, I love finding pinball easter eggs like this! Would be awesome if there was a rom hack with both main themes as options, but probably more trouble than someone would be willing to go through to make it happen.

As far as I know, the only three System 11 games with unused complete music tracks are Swords of Fury, Police Force, and now Rollergames.

Oddly, I went down this rabbit hole again today (after a whole decade) because this news clip surfaced in my feed and strangely enough - you can hear the prototype music toward the beginning of this video while Steve Kordek is showing the reporter the Williams showroom. I was like... that sounds like Rollergames, except not? That lead me back here, so belated thanks for sharing!

Wow!!! And a baby Python as well! Nice.
