Marble Madness review - Nintendo Gameboy

Yet another rollerball-controlled coin-op, this was the first game to appear on Atari's short lived System 7 format (Peter Packrat and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom were two others). Its amazing graphics and stereo FM sound were revolutionary at the time.

GAME: Guide your marble across six different landscapes before the time runs out.

What the Mean Machines staff thought

Outstanding! This is basically a perfect, black and white version of the original machine. All six levels of the coin-op, the graphics and the sound have been squeezed into a Gameboy cartridge to create one of the best arcade conversions around. Okay, so the control method takes a bit of getting used to, but otherwise this is the tops.
