I was 11 watching this. So awesome watching again now at 42. 👏 It was WWF and GLOW on roller skates. Ms Georgia Hase is the female Bobby Heenan played to perfection. Who didn’t smile every time Ice Box did the deep freeze on Monster Man? Nobody better mess with Ralphie! Watching now again I see how great a skater “Skinnie Minnie” Gwen Miller was. Sad to hear of her passing along with Ralphie, Ms. Georgia, Dyn-O-Mite Darryle, “Dr. Fu”, and all the others no longer here. Would love to see all the episodes posted! 👏👏👏👏👍👍
Mizz Georgia Hase was the best heel manager ever!! She was a tough woman...even though she got her ass whupped by Electric Randi Whitman or Skinnie Minnie Gwen Miller!! RIP Mizz Hase and Skinnie Minnie ❤❤❤❤.
Same with me at age 6 during the 1st grade when I was a major Hulkamaniac. I also remember the premier of AMERICAN GLADIATORS that time, and then watching this afterwards every Saturday nights. Greatest childhood memories here.
Holy shit..The 80's all wrapped up in a nice one hour package.. Mixing rock and roll, bad hair styles, and pro wrestling on skates.. Fucking amazing..
Watch your language, and this stuff is trashy, as is rock ';music''.
This trash came up in a recent conversation, and I wanted to investigate. I feel bad, though, for even giving this junk a rating.
I kid you not, I was just now sitting here at my dining room table working from home and the theme song just pop in my head. Rock, Rock, Rock n Rollergames. A quick CZcams search and here I am. This is the best part of CZcams for my 42 year old self, being able to find shows from my childhood and reminisce. I was just turning 11 when this came out.
Same here. I was 14 at the time this game out and few shows have brought back that nostalgia more than Rollergames! And yes, that's a cool theme song!
I was 10. I was a fan of the violators. I wish they would have had more seasons. They need to try to bring this back!
It was a sad day when this ended (for whatever reason). I loved this show so much.
The show's distributor went bankrupt.
I remember watching this when I was a kid. I absolutely loved it back then. It's entertaining to watch now, but for more of a nostalgic reason. Thank you for uploading this.
Only in America can you have a "world famous championship team" and a "world famous track", that has also been built just a month prior to filming the first episode, for a scripted television show, that hasn't even aired a single episode yet.
And that's what makes it so fun! :)
Been waiting for YEARS for RollerGames HD. Awesome to be able to relive this show in such amazing quality. Keep the episodes coming, there's a ton of fans that love this!!! THANK YOU!!!
Love how Tom Cruise, Cher, Burt Reynolds and George Michael are all in the audience and the announcer plays it off like they’re just normal spectators.
celebrity lookalikes
This was the good ol’ days man
Just when I thought this would be gone forever . . . IT's BACK . . . and it's DEVISTATING!!!!!
0:00 - You're joking me..
0:05 - You're JOKING ME
0:07 - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH 😱😱😱 YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SHOW
...and it's in HD. *faints*
(TL;DR - thank you so much for uploading this and I love you 🎆🎉🎆🎉🎆)
The only good thing that Covid19 did. Fox Sports needed content for their channels and commissioned the show to get remastered.
I was just looking this up because of the NES game. Had no idea it was essentially a silly wrestling show haha
Haha same XD
Fond memories of that game, had heard of this for a while but now I have officially seen it.
And the wrestling elements are undeniable XD
I remembered when the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling were on Saturdays at noon on Channel 11/WPIX-NY. Then they moved GLOW to their new time slot early Sunday at 2 am (which pissed me off). But the 2 hour premiere of Rollergames came on Friday night and their new time slot was Saturdays at noon; and loved it ever since! I really wished they continued the show for season 2; and add some new talent to each team and/or add 2 new teams to the roster with new managers!!
Me too
American Gladiators documentary led me here
Yeah, unfortunately, it only lasted one season while American Gladiators last six season.
Used to watch this and American Gladiators Saturday nights. Wowzers. Can't believe I found this, here! Such awesome memories! Thank you!
You ain’t the only one. 😂
"...and in came that one-man security force, David, in that distinctive uniform of his."
*sees man in loincloth*
Oh my god I'm dying lmao
I'm not going to lie this picture is too good for me, I need that grainy 1980s feel for the nostalgia 😂.. Great video
Gina Go Go Gonzales is my MOM! (:
Oh wow really
nice dude
Excellent! I have the galleries of all the T-Bird teams from 1961 onward. Your mom shows up in the 1982 team photo; so, I assume she joined Roller Games between that time and 5 years before that photo, yes? Did she skate in the Grand Olympic Auditorium? I know the T-Birds moved out of there at some point during the early-to-mid-1980s.
women in the 80s- 90s hit different.
This is almost better than I recall it appearing on TV. On a scale of 1-5 I'd give this a 6!
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen! I can't believe it exists or understand why it exists but it is the business. Thank you for introducing this to the world, love from UK
Quite, mate. Quite. It’s bollocks but it’s AMAZING. 😂 CHEERS 😊
Jeff sent me.
YES!! FINALLY FOUND ROLLER GAMES WHICH I GREW UP ON IN MY CHILDHOOD EVERY SATURDAY NIGHTS IN THE '89-90' era. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UPLOADS
So cool. Dar the Star was my neighbor growing up! Hope she's doing well
Mami told me she use to watch a show similar to this and so I decided to watch and see what it was about. As a wrestling fan, I'm loving it...
Is this like Pro Wrestling on rollerskates? This is my first time viewing this product
Whoever made this channel is a god. 1080p Rollergames!
Amazing program, so glad to be able to see it in this quality.
This used to come on after wrestling when I was a kid
I used to watch this after "American Gladiators".
@@willienelson3606 what a time!
Man I used to love this show as a kid
OMG, I saw this once on TV as a kid and have been looking for it ever since! Thank you!
My 80's childhood memories...THANK YOU for posting this.
Wow, hearing this theme song for the first time in nearly 35 years, I didn't expect to get all the feels! I've missed this in my life!
I watched this series in it’s original run…I was 14 ….if you were a wrestling fan then you became a rollergames fan …WWF on skates
This is my childhood WOW MEMORIES
I actually liked watching this after Pro Wrestling. It was a different expansion on sports entertainment.
Great to see this! I'm proud to say I have many games on VHS that I converted to DVD. And I still have my copy of Rollergames magazine!!
Me too!!
1:21:41 “See you next week . . . Same Rollertime . . . Same Rollerchannel!”
I used to watch this when i was 12, never missed an episode! Thanks for posting!
This might be the most unintentionally hilarious content i've ever seen.
I feel like this just summed up the 80's.
Watched this as a kid when it came out. It's so 90s cheese! I ❤ it so much!
This needs to come back
Totally
"If Maurecia from the "Wayside" cartoon had a favorite show, than "Rollergames" is it!"- my cousin.
I can not like this enough at 42!!! It's Saturday afternoon and I'm 12 years old everytime I watch one of these! "Mom, make me a sandwich, and after this I'll go outside and play! Thanks."
this would of been a hell of a thing to put down on a resume
this concept can make a good anime and manga.
How?
I just got to see the themed teams and a bit of the game
I get it now lol lol
Beautiful job, thanks David Sams for the restoration!
Thank you!!! I haven’t seen these since I was a kid in the 80s. I was always Team T-Birds
We need this to come back I missed this one growing up somehow
Depending where youre from but..from the east coast it was short-lived, on late at night and possibly not even on regular cable tv
Fantastic to see these episodes posted here. Thanks.
Only downside is the pic has been stretched to fit 16x9 when they were broadcast in 4x3. Would love to see a re-upload of these at some point in the future in the proper aspect ratio.
Feels like the opening for the running man
My family has had a RollerGames pinball machine since I was a kid. Some 25 years later I just now discover RollerGames was actually a real show.
Rollergames TV show, Rollergames for NES, Rollergames arcade cabinet. Now you tell me theres a pinball machine?
Yea it has all the teams as bonuses you can get for hitting targets on the machine, there’s the pit, the wall of death, and the “rock, rock, rock and rollergames” song that plays on loop as you play the game.
As a RollerJam fan, it's very interesting to look back to a prior attempt to make Roller Derby a TV product. Fun to see Ray Robles and Patsy Delgado earlier in their careers.
Those were the days i truly miss it..
I watch this on FS2 whenever it's on. Good memories
Thank you for posting this
It was a wrestling-type stunt with roller skates
YES!!!
Holy Shit! I cant believe this was on CZcams the whole time. I loved this show when it was on.
Damn this takes me back.
This almost looks like something Vince McMahon should have produced other than the XFL.
There may be something to this
if this were done now, I’d rather somebody else than him. or else we’d have the same few spots done over and over, same people getting pushed, not enough young talent, and don’t get me started on cuts.
Greetings from Brazil! I love the Maniacs! Liz Ard and Masako Ariji goddesses!
I use to love this show late Saturday nights.
If there'll be a reboot of Rollergames; perhaps they could make their sudden death overtime stipulation better than the gators that they used from the original series back in the late-80s.
Probably the best quad skater in my state, jam skater with elements of figure skating, would LOVE to frickin do this!!!
ive wondered what the theme was of a rollergames pinball machine.. i look up this vid. holy crap you americans are crazy XD
Look how happy everybody is.
I was about to go to bed and I thought I would find out if that show Rollergames was streaming anywhere. Glad I found it here, this show brings back so many memories as a child watching this.
But i'm confused as I first saw this in the early 1990s it was either before or after American Gladiators. Was there a second version of this show?
I remember watching it in sixth grade and it was right before American gladiators came out. I remember thinking they seem like they were part of the same push and I'm pretty sure they were both on USA Network
Not me enjoying one of my favorite shows from the '90s and at 38:40 they absolutely predict the future.... 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah they did....lol
The Deep Freeze move by the Icebox is great.
38:43 "Whats next? Donald Trump as President?"
You can't escape politics, it always comes for you
“What’s the most batshit insane thing we could think of?”
I wish rollergames would come back to regular tv..
Damn, Electric Randi and Skinnie Minnie wrecked that hag, Georgia Haus❤❤❤❤❤
They certainly put Georgia on her...Hase 😂😂😂😂!!!!
This show is amazing. Thank you for uploading it!
I remember this coming up on my TV during Christmas day 2 years ago.
I wish I found this on as a kid in the 90’s 😭. I definitely love this now at 26😂
How many other shows did you watch at the age of negative eight (????)
Wow listening too the announcer saying what's next "Donald Trump President" and here we are now on election day 2020
Sorry Trump, you're Fired, Biden is back on the White House.
@@joseguevara8321 your comment aged like fuckin milk 😂

@@Mike-202Trump will NEVER get near the Presidency again.
@@FaytLinegodYour comment won't age well either.😂😂😂
Who has the NES game, the pinball game, and the arcade game?
I have the pinball machine. It has the same theme music.
Check the Williams bally commercial behind the girl in the video at 5:12. Great playfield but the background music was putting on my nerves gradually. "DON'T FLIP...FLIP!!!"
I loved the pinball game!
Got the NES game and it's rad. Very accurate judging from this footage which I had never seen before.
I also have pinball machine.
47:21 "and down goes Shamu!" - "that was about a 7 on the richter scale!" - "one more milkshake in that guy and congress is gonna declare him a national park" 😂😂😂 back in the good old fat-shaming 80s baby!!! Yikes.
"What's next , Donald Trump is president??" (38:35). These guys were fortune tellers....emphasis, fortune.
I'd kill for a mean tweet & a $20.00 tank of gas rn lol fr
@@historysmysteriesunveiled8043 The whole thing is pure gold...I use to watch in my childhood and got pissed when the NFL interrupted...in fairness, I thought wrestling was fake but THIS, this was real!!! hahaha.
Who else has the NES game?
The pinball brought me here :)
1:21:40
Announcer: See you next week.
Same Rollertime, same ROLLERCHANNEL!
Roller derby confuses me.
This confuses me even more lol
Love all the cheese though, it's great
I love this! Thank you!!!
Trump as President! Called it at 38:41
Great Entertainment. Totally holds up! Please reboot this ! Make the track more death defying and make the theatrics more epic ! And obviously it’s archaic, inhumane and abusive to use animals as entertainment anymore, animals can sense and feel things just like humans so they are probably very stressed and frightened, so let’s have empathy for animals. Other than that being said I love all things 80’s and this show kicks ass. ✌🏻
Be careful what you wish for.
Dar The Star n The T-Bird Twins n Electric Randi Are My Favorites
I have to say, this was the next thing with Wwf at the time.
Wish there was a live scoreboard we can see
Like many I'm sure, I use to refer to Roller Games to pro wrestling on ice, WWE on ice, there were so many similarities between this and professional wrestling
hell the the 2000's was in the impact zone
@@nate567987 Was it really bro?
Bro what is this 😂😂😂 Why is this not an Olympic sport?? It's awesome!
@nitrokid Because the Olympics are SPORTS, not something to entertain lazy people with no life by putting in fake fighting.
this is entertainment like WWE, sport does not really describe it. It's theater :)
@@CoopyKatits sort of 1/4 roller derby and the rest is a campy mess. Derby should be in the Olympics though, and artistic skate too
I remember when everyone in the UK was into this for like 15 minutes about 9 years ago and you couldn't move for Roller Derby teams posting every 5 seconds and people mentioning it like it was a brand new thing 🤣
I don't really think the interest stayed longer than about half a year.
This was so popular lol even remember they had crocs in a tank on the outside lol
I just watched a few of the remastered episodes on TV. You need to fix the copyright year at the end of those episodes. The second Roman numeral reads 1988.
And what chance would there have been, for THIS _RollerGames_ to survive, had the show's original distributor, Qintex Entertainment, not gone belly-up during mid-season? At the time (until _RollerJam_ came 10 years later), it was thought to have been the last chance for roller derby to survive, in the arena or on television. Its demise pretty much crippled Bill Griffiths' creation, the rival to Leo Seltzer's _Roller Derby_ (created in 1935), called _National Skating Derby_ (or _Roller Games,_ created 1960).
Word is that they had a few games _off-camera_ in that arena in the years 1990 to 1993. I don't know about the teams that were made up exclusively for this show, but I have to assume those teams were gone, given that Darlene Langlois (Dar the Star) was back with the T-Birds in 1990 (she skated for them as far back as 1979). The people who were NOT Roller Games veterans were gone; Matt Bickham (Stars & Stripes), the twins, and Tammy Hansen (of Hot Flash) among them, the sooner the show went belly-up. Only the Ice Box survived, to skate for the T-Birds in the early-1990s. Even after 31 years, I can't put an original Roller Games face to Chuck Skull, and I still don't know his real name. Was he a veteran or a show recruit?
Some of the people you see there are no longer with us. Ralph Valldares died in 1998. He was inducted in 2004 to the restored Roller Derby Hall of Fame (originally created by Leo Seltzer in 1952). Gale Bowers, another veteran of the original Roller Games, died in 2013. Georgia Hase, who was a skater herself, died in 2015. Only 2½ years ago we lost "Skinny Minnie" Gwen Miller. Watch her acrobatics in clips from the 1970s and early-1980s. Darryle Davis, a latecomer to the scene (c1978), died in 2014.
By the way, Ralphie's daughter Gina, who you see in these clips with Hot Flash, skated years later with the revived San Francisco Bay Bombers of the late Dan Ferrari's _American Roller Skating Derby._ Her mother is Roller Games legend Honey Sanchez.
38:40 lol
LMAO
Is this an edit??
@@MrNkaplan Nope. And if you go back through late '80s/early '90s media you'll find a lot of such references. I even remember a sci-fi comic in I think it may have been Heavy Metal magazine around '91 set in a world where Donald Trump was POTUS. I don't actually recall him making any announcements about the intent, but something had a lot of people thinking about the prospect back then.
I have a vague but very real memory of my dad taking me and a friend to see the taping of this. It was the kate 80s or early 90s and they filmed it at the Long Beach Naval shipyard in California. My dad was in the Navy and stationed there. I believe he got the tickets for free cause they needed bodies. I just remember being so confused about what the hell was going on.
I so remember this ❤
Thanks for
Adding this!!!
this is the greatest shit i've ever seen
