Marble Madness is a classic game that first aired for the NES platform. The concept of the game if fairly simple. You control a marble through a maze and try to lead it to a goal at the end of the level. There are several obstacles and varying terrains to challenge you. Different levels feature challenges such as rolling hills, narrow paths, bumpy roads, and even black go that will try and send your ball off course.
This game is truly a challenge of hand eye coordination.
Good precision and control of the ball is needed if you are going to be able to guide it to safety. Marble Madness is one of the most addicting games you will find and is not for you if you are not willing to test your patience. It does not get more frustrating than trying countless times to guide your ball to the goal of that one impossible level. Graphics in this game are not at their finest but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the game. The color and seemingly pixeled effect lets you know you are truly playing a classic.
Obviously with any old game the graphics stand to have room for improvement but given the concept and game play style they
aren’t a large detriment to the experience.
My first time playing marble madness was after my parents had bought me the game for Christmas when I was in grade school. I rushed to the basement and I have been a marble madness fan ever since.
This game truly is fun for everyone, I could even convince my dad to play this game with me given how simple the concept is. I was introduced to marble madness at an early age and as a result, I will be a marble madness fan for life. I am going to head off to college this year and I plan on bringing my NES with me just to have Marble Madness for my dorm room. Kudos to this site for providing Marble Madness to the general public. For all those people who have had their original Nintendo entertainment systems die on them or their awesome 3 button controllers break so many years later, the thrill of Marble Madness is still alive and well on the internet. Marble Madness Forever!!!
