This game mystified me as a kid. Very beautiful game.

@DJDanceClassic Жыл бұрын

The earliest arcade machine to feature true stereo sound was Marble Madness. The game also featured a specially commissioned movie-style soundtrack, which took full advantage of the arcade machine's stereo capabilities.

Would be interesting if someone extracted the full-length tracks from the game.

@hikari_no_yume Жыл бұрын

@@dtvjho Fun fact, as far as I understand it, there aren't “full-length tracks” you can actually extract, they loop and get faster and faster forever, and past a certain point they don't sound like music any more.

Also the only Arcade I recall/can think of to use a track ball to control the marble. I only ever tried it once, maybe slightly easier than NES…..

It's not too crazy if you think about it, someone with a passion for making innovative games, 30 years experience, got in the game when hardware architecture was relatively simple and he could've picked it up easily, being smart enough to make a game like this.

I remember playing the arcade version of this game with the trackball. The ball had some momentum because of its weight and sometimes the skin of my hand would get trapped in the gap between the ball and the cabinet. It was pretty painful when you kept getting the same spot snagged over and over. The game is amazing though. I love it.

Considering the game was made back in 1984, it sounded very new at time when just about every other game had NES-style sounds and music.

@christophers.8553 6 жыл бұрын

BrokenTrumpet: No, but it does use an FM Yamaha chip which is similar to what the Genesis used; there is a certain FM sound in a lot of games from about this time until the mid-1990s. The Atari System 1 used a Yamaha YM2141 for music, two Atari 800 POKEY chips (CO12294B) for music and effects, and a TI TMS5220 for speech. The Genesis used a Yamaha YM2612 for music and a TI SN76489 (same as the TI 99/4A) for effects.
