I recently purchased EA's Marble Madness and would like to present
some of my impressions of the program. They've faithfully reproduced the ersion with some minor
arcade version with some minor variations. The game uses a mouse, joystick,
or trackball. The music, though familiar, sounds a bit staccato. Very
occasionally the screen-scrolling falls behind the movement of
the ball, which can lead to disorientation. In the two-player mode the
animation slows down somewhat. One annoying error occurs at the end of the
game when the last screen with the final score quickly switches back to the
initialization screen, giving the player only a short time to view his score.
Despite these minor flaws, the game performs admirably and is an
excellent demonstration of the Amiga's abilities. If anyone is at all
interested in purchasing the game, don't hold back -- you won't be
disappointed.
