STEAMROLLER for COLECOVISION Cartridge

RETURN OF A LOST CLASSIC!

Welcome to the strange land of Steamroller! Play against the computer or against another player head-to-head. Either way, you must use your steamroller to repair the ever-deteriorating convoluted roadway: potholes grow into manholes, and if one of those smiling beachballs falls into a manhole, it bounces out a killer beachbomb! So fix potholes, pop beachballs and watch out for that other steamroller!

• Speed around road maze crushing beachballs and picking up prizes!
• Fix potholes before beachballs fall in and become bombs!
• In one-player game, compete against a deadly computer-controlled steamroller that will destroy you on contact - except in the few seconds at the end of each round when you can turn around and crush IT.
• In two-player game, go head-to-head against your opponent. Race to pick up prizes first; bump your opponent into oncoming bombs!
• Multiple levels and road mazes with ever-increasing speeds.

For your ColecoVision console.

PRODUCTION HISTORY

Late in 1983, legendary game designer David Rolfe, programmer of the classic Intellivision cartridges Major League Baseball, Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack and Beamrider, was contracted by Activision to create a new Intellivision game: Steamroller. When Mattel Electronics stopped producing Intellivision games in early 1984, Activision had David target Steamroller for the ColecoVision console, instead. But by the time the game was finished, ColecoVision was dead, too. David delivered the game to Activision on July 24, 1984. And for over 15 years, that was it. The game lay forgotten in the magnetic media of an archived floppy.

In 2000, David asked Keith Robinson of the new Intellivision Productions, Inc., if he thought people would be interested in seeing this forgotten game. Yes, indeed! Keith got permission from Activision to produce and release a limited run of the ColecoVision cartridge for collectors. It was introduced at the July 2000 Classic Gaming Expo, where it was a huge hit. Digital Press named Steamroller the Classic Video Game of the Year.

In 2000, Intellivision sold about 100 copies of Steamroller. Since then it has been unavailable.

Now, by popular demand, we have produced a new limited run of 100 cartridges! If you have a working ColecoVision, this is your chance to get one of the most fun games ever produced for the console! Don't miss it!
