Marble Madness was first published by Atari Games in 1984 and is the original ball rolling game that has always seemed to be a natural fit for the iPhone. The original game included 6 maze-like levels that you must complete before time runs out. Various objects and enemies stand in your way."</em></p><p><img height="323" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1244116102.usr18053.jpeg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" width="236" /></p><p>Looking forward to this one.&nbsp; I reckon the control scheme is going to involve tilting (something I hate), but I'll still give this one a go.&nbsp; Marble Madness was one of the more innovative arcade and console games of the 80's, and proof positive that not every interesting game was a fighting game or a racing game.</p>

This brought back memories of the good old days when I used to hang out at the arcade all weekend (or for as long as my quarters lasted). This could be fun on the iPhone but I too am not a fan of games that rely too heavily on the accelerometer. Marble Madness needs to be played with a track ball for the authentic experience.
