His debut as a playable fighter was in the fighting game "Street Fighter Alpha 2" in 1996, in which he seeks to build a military utopia following the downfall of the Mad Gear gang and wants to recruit his former ally and nemesis, Sodom and Guy respectively, to his cause. Rolento's ending in "Alpha 2" depicts him invading the streets of Metro City after forming his own army. In "Street Fighter Alpha 3", Rolento tries to persuade Cody, another former nemesis, to join his army. In his ending, Rolento attempts to infiltrate Shadaloo's underground base to gain M. Bison's secret weapon, the Psycho Drive, only to destroy it with Sodom's help. His "Alpha" series' incarnation also appears as a playable character in the 2002 crossover fighting game "Capcom vs. SNK 2", as well as in the 1999 fighting game "Final Fight Revenge" which follows his backstory from the "Alpha" series.
