Marble Madness is a ball rolling game that was first released in the Arcades in 1984.
+ Marble physics are good and there's some neat ideas to advance the gameplay such as catapults and tilting ramps.
- With only six courses, the game can be beaten in minutes and there's no other modes to keep you playing.
- Difficulty spike in Level 4 is sharp and nothing prepares you for the extreme precision that's required.
- Trackball implementation from the Arcade original is sorely missed, as the d-pad on the handheld is overly sensitive.
- Ill-fitting music contains rudimentary bleeps and bloops, and has a tendency to slow down when the action gets busy.
- The main incentive is to gain a high score, but unfortunately there's no battery backup available to save them.
