Action   Arcade

 Marble Madness screenshot
I spent countless coins on the arcade version of this game, which proves why Atari was a highly successful game company in the 80s: original concept, great graphics, and solid gameplay. Guide a ball as it rolls downhill toward the exit, escaping enemies and obstacles along the way. A truly timeless masterpiece of game design. Colorful isometric graphics and realistic ball physics (complete with inertia and gravity) are the game's hallmarks that set it apart from other arcade games in its time. Highly recommended!

Note: the keyboard control is implemented like an afterthought-- make sure you have a joystick hooked up to get the most enjoyment from this game.
