Some people rave about it. I'm personally not a fan but I will give it a play if it's available for the sake of variety. I hope that it eventually comes out for the people that want it. It doesn't get requested that often but it is mentioned occasionally.

Not many dogs in this era to me. If you made me choose just one, I'd go with Rollergames.

I hope a season 6 and 7 and more too
We all do. But realistically they'd need to start pulling out the checkbook for licensing, AND get Stern and Capcom emulation for that to be possible. I think it can happen but we'll see.

What good is emulated the Sam Stern system going to be? Nearly all of those tables are heavily licensed. I am hoping that they do more tables from the 70's and early 80's.

Do we have an official statement from FS on Rollergames? I'd like to think they've at least chased up the licensing around the "sponsors" (or maybe they can do a deal with their WMS license to change the artwork, even though their contract requires them to release the tables exactly the same) and could give us a definitive answer on it.
Technically though, it might be a hard game to pull off on all platforms. A lot of clear ramps as well as coloured habitrails. Still, after playing it at a friend's last weekend again (for the first time in a while) I'm still in love with it. If it never comes to TPA I may just offer my mate some money for his.

That'd go against the pinball preservation goal of The Pinball Arcade. What you personally like or dislike should not get in the way of what is or is not historically significant in its field, and I think Rollergames is.
Personally, I don't really like the music in Rollergames either, and it's dated in a bad way (and not in an over-the-top campy way like with Dr. Dude either). However, I do know it's popular and is often talked about among pinball people and is hence worth a shot.

As FS is not a non-profit organisation, their goal is to make money, not to preserve pinball machines. regardless of all the marketing blah blah.

I think it is crazy for how much some of these table licence's are.It is not like these tables are everywhere today and here is a small company trying to bring them back from the dead and put them back out there.You think they would be happy that they would be getting anything for something they made over 20 years or plus ago that will never sell again as in real table's wise and just agree to like 5% of of each table that sells or something like that. I just think they should be more reasonable with them.So if they cant afford a licence for a table..we will never see it and the people who own the table rights will never get a dime..So people who own all these Licence's STOP being so GREEDY some money is better than no money..I know there is more to it but that's just how i feel.

That was a statement made by one of the FS people that actually post to Facebook, which means it was personal opinion. I talked face to face with Bobby about it, and while he wasn't terribly familiar with the machine, he did mention that it has a lot of licenses attached to it, and would take some doing tracking them all down. On top of that, a totally defunct TV property that was gone before the table was even released! Saying they hated the music was just a cheap joke, and a lot quicker way to put a nail in the coffin than going into more licensing B.S. that everybody hates hearing about.
I will say this...when FS is left with nothing but licensed tables to go after, that is when Rollergames might become a reality. A system 11 machine by Steve Ritchie? They've got some experience with those! Until that time though, don't hold your breathe.
