Atari's isometric 3D marble game on NES. Guide a marble through increasingly perilous courses. Simple but demanding concept. The NES conversion is honest, even if inferior to the arcade.

Description
Puzzle game in which a marble rolls through isometric labyrinths while avoiding holes. Published by Milton Bradley, released in the USA in 1989. Marble in isometric view on inclined platforms, holes to avoid and power-ups. NES port of Atari's Marble Madness arcade.
A NES port of Atari's Marble Madness arcade, published in the United States by Milton Bradley, a board-game maker whose NES ventures stayed rare and fragile. The game itself is common and cheap loose, but the Milton Bradley label and an easily damaged cardboard box make clean complete copies markedly less common. Value lies in that gap between an ordinary cartridge and an atypical publisher's packaging that is hard to keep intact.
