Notes

[1] Game must be launched from WB.

[2] Game supports mice/joysticks/trackballs for gameplay.

[3] The inside cover of MARBLE MADNESS profiles 8- and 16-bit coders Larry Reed & Will Harvey, and describes events surrounding the licensing of the Atari coin-op (see HERE).

[4] ***MARBLE MADNESS(full disk/HD release)*** is freely available for downloadHERE [Source: Ami Sector One].


TRIVIA: MARBLE MADNESS was EA's first ever arcade license (also, the Amiga's too!), and was prompted by the coin-op's huge popularity among EA employees (see HERE).

Based on 1984 Mark Cerny/Bob Flanagan/Atari Games coin-op.
PC versions: CGA, Tandy, PC-98

N.B. Released as part of Midway Arcade Treasures for GameCube, PS2, Xbox and PC (Windows).
