Roller Jammer is a roller derby simulation arcade game developed by Alice Corporation and published by Nichibutsu. The game uses a pseudo-3D perspective.
The game has two types of main stages, the Time Trials, and Versus Races. In the Time Trial mode, you must make it to the goal within the allotted time whilst dodging the various obstacles. In Versus Race, the player must make it past a certain amount of rollerskaters within the allotted time to win. During these stages, the player can attack to the left or right in an attempt to push opponents out of the way.
On July 8, 2022, the Arcade Archives collection released the game for the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4.

Music
The game's music was composed by Ichiro Takagi, who had also composed Tube Panic (ARC) the same year. The music isn't quite as impressive as that game's, but it still works with the theme of the game. To fit with the fast paced action of the game, some of the music is high-tempo rockabilly themes, while others are mainly just drumbeats with a octave bassline. There are also some songs where Takagi adds various sound effects to the composition.
Takagi most likely wrote the music in Z80 assembly macros.
