Wow! I love Marble Madness, though I am more familiar with the NES version, and had not even seen the MAME version until now. Thoughts: 1) Seeing it now, am actually very impressed with how well the NES renders the levels. 2) I love the near-end shortcut you took on the silly level, backdrop down off the up ramp to the flats. Very nice. 3) Holy @#$% I think you came as close as possible to finishing without actually finishing!! XD

damn some of the sounds and soundtracks are really trippy lol i just love it

This brings back happy memories from the eighties. I used to be college champ at this. I tried playing it on an emulator, but you can't get the control from a mouse so I can't get past level four. I'm currently trying to find a reasonably priced trackball. Thanks for posting this.

haha, so close! well played. you did a move at the end of the silly race (2:58) that i didn't know was possible.

incredible twist ending

There was now fast or slow button in the arcade game. Just a track ball. So there will be no mapping for buttons in Mame. Hit the tab key to see what mapping you can do.

hahaha wow dude, that was a rough ending

I love how the silly race has impossible geometry.

UGG! SO CLOSE!!! I usually puke after a finish like that or just punch myself in the balls. Seriously though- I love this F'in game. I wish there were more levels. I've seen the clips of the MM2 prototype on here, they should have released it, and they still should!!

You was right there too!! XD

Wow! You did a great job getting that far. The farthest I've ever been was stage 3.

never could get past 2nd level time would run out,your pretty good.are u some kind a machine...

Thanks for the love.

your very good good job dude

I just finished the game last night on my MAME system! On the play before I beat the game, I ended up just like you did here: bumping into the damned finish line pole and running out of time! D'oh!

That was a nifty manoeuvre at 1:19

Nostalgic

I laughed so hard..

np your good and marbel mad ness is the best atari game have a nice day

m. night shyamalan would be proud

Yep, homemade with Happ track ball.

AAAAWWWW!!!! You were so close!!!

LOL great ending!

You Won. It Was Probably A Glitch. Cause I Think You Won

The arcade version. Playing this on a PC via Mame, an arcade game emulator.

My thoughts exactly when I play this :-D

I did not know the melody at 2:00 existed at that part at all.

nice work, the best score i've ever finished with was 134,000.

It pissed me off that XBOX360 arranged for the release of so many of the old games for download via XBOXLIVE, but instead of releasing this one, they made a Marble game that isn't very Marble Madness-esk. WAA waa. They really should create MM 2010!

No... not the proper approach for a mis-behaving game. I made the game sit in the corner for 10 minutes of "time-out". My Marble Madness was much better behaved after it had properly thought through what emotional trauma that it had caused me.

@SuperSmashDolls Definitely designed by an Escher fan.

Nice video! Are you using a track ball to play this?

@NintendoLegendDotCom This is me playing on an actual machine... Spoiler! I actually finish - xPQXTwgH658

@MuriloCamu Story of my life.

Aw shucks.

Oh ok then I guess that works aswell XD

@1RonBurgundy1 Yep, this is me playing through on a real machine - xPQXTwgH658

Robbed!

I fucking hate those hammer screwhead things at 2:00 I mean it was rare that I got past them and when I did I never had enoiugh time to do the silly race level even when I ate those little things that gave u more time

Pissing myself irl simply because you didn't complete it...

i know theres a 3-d game like this

It would've been a nice finish had you not bumped into the flag.

No, but I take the 'roids.

I bet you were using hacks or the damned power glove.

what game is this on?

I have MAME, but i can't open it. Plz, HELP ME!

WORST. ENDING. EVER.

Talk about bad luck. you made it all that way and ran out of time. you did good, though.

LOL...OUT OF TIME

the sound i not synced

Aw man. You were so fuckin close.

Anotheto

That was bullshit u should of won that I mean what a rip off
