About Rolloverture

The hall is at a hush The maestro takes the baton and readies the orchestra. But wait! All the notes have been scrambled and you must help the maestro scurry madly around the orchestra pit directing the notes back to their proper order Climb ladders, throw levers, reverse the conveyor belt, and step on rollovers to guide the music ball to the correct notemaker slot. Proper placement rewards you with the overture, but incorrect placement results in a speed increase and greater difficulty. A variety of melodies and random scrambling of the notes guarantees to keep your interest, while you painlessly learn about music.

A music-and-arcade oddity from Sunrise Software, interesting for its premise more than for any documented play.

Rolloverture was a Sunrise Software release with VSS credited as developer. Computer Entertainer described its premise: you help a concert maestro scurry around the orchestra pit, placing music balls in the proper slot so that the right note sounds. Electronic Games (May 1984) called it a music and arcade game and listed it among four Sunrise titles for the ColecoVision.

No review of the finished cartridge turned up, so there is little to say about how it plays.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 3 No. 2May 1984Graphics ★★★ · Play-Action ★★★

“Graphics are cute and colorful—about average for this system—and the music is very good. ROLLOVERTURE can be frustrating”

— Computer Entertainer, May 1984

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — diamonds through early 1987, stars after — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.

Worth knowing

  • From the ColecoVision manual. A music-puzzle game: Maestro Triple T must steer rolling notes into the right note-maker slots using levers, ladders, a reversible conveyor belt and bumpers.
  • From the ColecoVision manual. Completing a note scores 100 points and completing a phrase scores 5000; the star key pauses the game until a fire button is pressed.
  • From the ColecoVision manual. On level one the note you need blinks in its note-maker slot, but only for the first four notes of each song.

Before you buy

Plays on the standard ColecoVision controller; no overlay is documented. The price row shows a loose copy only, with no boxed price, so a complete copy is hard to value: ask for photos of the box and manual and settle on a price you are comfortable paying for an unusual title. No counterfeit is documented.
