Speaking ofMarble Madness (kinda, I guess,) check out this video of the best Marble Madness player ever. There was a time that I was no slouch at Marble Madness, and though I know players that are better than me, I'm probably still the best Marble Madness player in the office (an auspicition distinction, for sure.) But this guy makes everyone else I've ever seen look like they've been trying to play with their feet. Watching this video has the simultaneous effect of making me feel really bad about myself, and never want to play Marble Madness again. Notice the little picture-in-picture of his hands on what appears to be a proper Marble Madness arcade machine, defusing most of the potential speculation that this play-through is somehow machine-assisted.

Damn! My older brother bought a trackball for our Apple II specifically to play Marble Madness. I don't think I ever saw him beat the game, let alone with such skill and aplomb.
Thats Madness I tell you! I remember playing that on the NES and I had so much trouble with the 4th board. That guys is stupid good, should be illegal.
Yeah, you can call it Marble Madness if you want. Me, instead of Paperboy, I say Paper. Instead of Crystal Castles, I say Crystal. Marble Madness, I call it Marble.
(That's apropo of nothing other than the fact that I first saw both this Marble Madness video, and this outtake footage from King of Kong--

--at the same time last night, and the two are now forever fused in my mind.)
Wow that game takes me back ... I spent quite a bit of coinage trying to master that thing ( Never did ) but for some reason i couldn't stop myself from trying
You don't mess with Marble Madness son. I remember trying over and over and over to get past a certain bit on like the 3rd level and never making it... Oh man, it was such a genius game though when it came out.
