Shot97 | Marble Madness - Amiga - Gaming Memories And Review @Shot97 | Uploaded June 2017 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
An early example of a nearly arcade perfect port on the Amiga. Electronic Arts ported this to the Amiga in 1986, from the 1984 arcade game from Atari. Some of my first gaming memories are from this game, but it has taken me nearly 30 years to defeat it! This is an American Amiga game best experienced in NTSC mode in a 4:3 aspect ratio which preserves the arcade's 3:4 aspect ratio.
