Who didn&#8217;t love Marbles as a kid? Those glass balls with strangely coloured interiors, I had a box of them, always found them very mysterious. I also had no idea what I was supposed to do with them. They were just Marbles! This thing that existed and looked pretty. Did anyone actually play Marbles properly, ie win other kids Marbles off them for keepsies? I don&#8217;t recall anyone in my playground doing that, guess I was the wrong generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comunque Atari decise di trasformare il popolare gioco in un videogioco. Ironia della sorte, il gioco si \u00e8 rivelato per me misterioso quanto la realt\u00e0! Marble Madness ha uno strano fascino che \u00e8 difficile da descrivere. A parole, il concetto di controllare un Marble attraverso 7 diversi livelli, evitando pericoli e cadute dai bordi non sembra niente di speciale, ma quando si gioca, \u00e8 come se ci fosse un significato pi\u00f9 profondo in agguato? Forse \u00e8 il design dei livelli un po' psichedelico? Forse \u00e8 la musica meravigliosamente bizzarra? O forse \u00e8 solo il fatto che ero molto fatto quando giocavo a questo gioco nella mia adolescenza?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your aim is to get your Marble to the end of the course within the time-limit. A time bonus is awarded upon completion which adds to your total. This gives you more time for the next level. Since there&#8217;s a global time limit it is tougher than it first seems. However you can pick up the odd time bonus for crushing certain enemies, and occasionally a random time bonus for&#8230; doing well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re reliant on completing stages quickly in order to have enough time remaining for the final stage. To be honest, it really shouldn&#8217;t take an average player too long to complete this game. Whilst not the hardest, and perhaps not the most engaging for those not half baked&#8230; To me this game will always be special. Long live Atari!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rec0ded88.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Marble-Madness-Ending-1000x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3300\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comunque Atari decise di trasformare il popolare gioco in un videogioco.
