Reviews
[edit]Roller Coaster Rumbler received mixed reviews shortly upon release. ST Action, an English Atari ST-focused magazine rated it a 63%, stating it was "a cleaver demo", and called gameplay "bland" and "unchanging".[2] Amiga-Spel, a Swedish Amiga-focused magazine, was more positive to the game, saying that "Roller Coaster Rumbler is proof that there are still game producers with imagination and innovation" and "a very pointless pointless game but oh so fun!". Amiga-Spel ended on an overall 8/10, with an 8/10 in the graphics category, a 7/10 for sound design, and an 8/10 for replay value.[3]
