GO AHEAD-LOSE YOUR MARBLES!!!
The game that drove them crazy at the arcades now comes home. Same exciting game-play, same blow-away graphics, sounds and music.

A unique game experience that's crazy fun for everyone. Two players race to the goal line, or one player races against the clock. It's sports competition, kinetics and strategy.

ULTIMATE COMPETITION for 1 or 2 players.
The object is simple. Race your marble to the goal line, and don't let anything get in your way. It sounds easy, but it just might drive you nuts.

SPECTACULAR ANIMATION
Fantastic 3-D terrains are the raceways. Zany (but dangerous) enemies await your every turn. Avoid the deadly Steelies and the pounding hammers; watch out for hungry Marble Munchers; even surf a mechanical wave.

INTENSE ACTION
Marble Madness often the ultimate in exciting non-stop action. It's not easy being a marble; make it to the Ultimate Race and you'll learn why.

INCREDIBLE MADNESS
Six different levels of raceways, each with an original music score. Every level has its own "personality" and creatures to contend with. Have a blast in the Silly Race, but remember, everything you know is wrong!
