This is a video of me collecting all the coins in Rollerboy 2. It's segmented, that is, I recorded the video in multiple chunks, which have been edited together. My goal here is to just demonstrate the game and show where everything is.

I used to play this game from time to time in middle school, probably almost 20 years ago. It was available online as a Java applet. For a while, the only way to play it was on a game site with a paywall, and later that site died too. I found out recently that reddit user herb3k, on the subreddit r/rollerboy2, has actually put together a downloadable version of the game, complete with source code! So, after a long time, I have been able to play it again.

You can play it too if you check out that subreddit. The version is RollerBoy2 version 1.1.2a Build 5229 (c)1998-2000 Maciek Drejak, and there may have been further updates after that (with two more levels at the end), but this is what there is. There is also a bug with the swinging platforms, which can be fixed by making a copy of the graphics file "swinghiss1.gif" and naming it "swinghiss-ufo1.gif".
