Marble Madness is a ball rolling game that was first released in the Arcades in 1984.
+ Always adds new mechanics to spice things up such as catapults and tilting ramps, and the two-player mode is available.
- There's an anaemic amount of content on offer and with only six courses the game can literally be beaten in minutes.
- The ball physics are floaty and peculiar in that you can usually slow your momentum in a very erroneous manner.
- Includes various inaccuracies to the original (e.g. ball colour), and there are frame-rate dips and some slowdown.
- Omits a battery backup for high scores (even though that's the main purpose of the game) which hurts replayability.
- The music is utterly dreadful with lots of lingering, droning tones and high-pitched squealing that hurts your ears.
