Trivia:

The graphics of Marble Madness were created using a development system called the "Picture Processing System". This system took up a small room, cost $100,000, and featured a huge tablet with a 12 button digitizing "puck". Despite all of this, this system could only draw horizontal and vertical lines automatically. Diagonal lines had to rendered by hand.

Dumb

Ok, I can see that no one has ever commented on this, probably a reason for that, the game is a joke. It takes 3 minutes to beat and there is a lame ending. You are just a ball and you roll around for a few minutes and the game is over. It should have never been created and it fails to present any challenge. I would rather play Bocce than be forced to beat this. It sucks big time, but can be fun if you're tanked playing it
