About Crush Roller

Crush Roller is a game for the Neo Geo Pocket Color based on the 1981 arcade game Make Trax, which was released as Crush Roller in Europe and Asia. The object of the game is to color the entire maze-like playing field with a paint brush. While you paint, two enemies walk around in the maze, when they hit you, you lose a life. A level has rollers which you can push forward with your paint brush. If you capture an enemy in the path of the roller he dies and is temporarily taken out of the game. This scores you extra points. Each subsequent enemy rolled over is worth more points. Every once in a while another creature will pop up, it will run around leaving behind track marks in your paint. Painting over this creature removes it from the game and scores you additional points. His tracks have to be repainted. When the entire maze is painted you win the level. Unlike the original arcade version the Neo Geo Pocket Color version has multiple levels.

Neo Geo Pocket Color prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A maze game from 1981 that turns out to suit this handheld better than most of its 1999 contemporaries.

Crush Roller — ADK's paint-the-maze arcade game, sometimes known as Make Trax — is a simple idea executed cleanly, and it was one of the titles SNK added in the weeks after the North American retail launch. Short sessions, immediate rules, no reading required: it is a good fit for a handheld and for a console whose stick is its best feature.

Before you buy

Prices on this one have drifted up more than its profile suggests, which is usually the point at which reproductions start appearing — inspect the label edge rather than assuming an obscure title is safe.
