Synopsis
by Scott Alan Marriott
Guide a marble across six increasingly challenging courses in Marble Madness for NES. Based on 1984's trackball-powered arcade game, Marble Madness on NES offers two Control Pad configurations: one that moves the marble 90°, and one that moves it at 45° angles. Nudge the shiny sphere up and down ramps, through tunnels, and on catapults while avoiding hazards such as acid pools, rival marbles, and more. Complete each stage as quickly as possible to accumulate the most points. Marble Madness also offers two-player simultaneous action in addition to its solo game.
