Roller Coaster

About

Roller Coaster is a platformer with a twist of strategy and puzzle-solving set in a post-closing-time amusement park. You play Colonel G. Bogey, the park owner, chasing money bags scattered by a vengeful employee. Navigate rides and terrain using timing and spatial awareness to collect cash while avoiding obstacles. The game blends horizontal scrolling with resource management as you plan routes to maximize efficiency. Released in 1985, it holds a cult status as the first video game to simulate amusement park rides. Though developed for 8-bit systems like the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, its clever mechanics stood out for their depth. Community archives cite it as one of the Spectrum’s most fondly remembered titles of the era. Short but polished, it remains a niche example of early creative simulation design.
