Title
The progenitor of all realistic gravity games, it's addicting in spite of its unforgiving time limit. The marble is very fun to control and you need to guide it through an obstacle course to the finish line, but it is also sensitive and will doubtlessly frustrate anyone who can't fine in their controls. Good responsiveness and difficulty, if very hard, and Marble is particualrly pleasing to play with a mouse if you've enabled it in MAME.

Presentation-wise, the arcade version of the game is one of the most FAR-OUT and technically marvelous pre-90s games ever created, and the aural stereoscopic soundtrack bubbles till it awashes your entire room into a shade of outer space.

    The art in this was blowing my mind when I played. The dudes who eat the marbles and the acid puddles are particularly dope

    arguably more iconic than mario if you grew up playing games during the 80s/early 90s
