Marble Madness (GB)

Marble Madness

Platform: Game Boy Year: 1991 Developer: Unknown

The Game Boy port of Marble Madness is pretty similar to the original arcade game. One or two players move their marble through the courses and around the obstacles, while avoiding the steelies, acid puddles, and various other obstacles to reach the finish line. As with many Game Boy original games, it was programmed in black and white.

It is unknown who developed the game, but it is most likely Eastridge Technology.

Music

The original arcade music of Marble Madness was composed by Brad Fuller and Hal Canon. The arranger is unknown, but it can be Peter Stone (aka Xorcist), who composed most of Nick Eastridge's game, or its original developer Nick Eastridge. In comparison with original arcade version, the arrangement is rotten andd poorly done. This is poor adaptation of David Wise's arrangement from NES version. It's still unknown, did developers adapted NES version without Rare's permission?
