Marble Madness (1984)
Genres:Puzzle, Arcade
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Marble Madness is an isometric platform game in which the player manipulates an onscreen marble from a third-person perspective. The player controls the marble's movements with a trackball, though most home versions use game controllers with directional pads. The aim of the game is for the player to complete six maze-like, isometric race courses before a set amount of time expires. When a player completes a race, the remaining time is added to the next race's allotted time. The game also allows two players to compete against each other.
Courses are populated with various objects and enemies designed to obstruct the player. As the game progresses, the courses become increasingly difficult and introduce more enemies and obstacles. Each course has a distinct visual theme. For example, the first race, titled "Practice", is a simple course that is much shorter than the others, while the fifth race, named "Silly", features polka-dot patterns and is oriented in a direction opposite from the other coursesShow more

I played (actually, at the time, tried to play) Marble Madness at the 80's arcades
and then on the newly released Amiga (a computer far ahead of its time). MM was a game unique in conception and play style and, for me, completely addictive. I was not a very good MM player, so I never finished the game. It would be great to try again after all these years!
Played in this for hours in a movie theater I worked at in the 80's. The speaker on the arcade cabinet had a metal mesh over it, just above the trackball, and the races against co-workers would get so crazy we didn't realize we were cheese-grating our finger tips on that mesh until a winner was declared. It would be insanely cool to play this again.
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' TreasureZack is a new pirate on a quest to become the greatest pirate ever. In this puzzle adventure game he and his magical monkey sidekick search for treasure as they help the skeleton of the legendary pirate Barbaros.
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure is presented as a series of stages where the player directs Zack to perform a number of actions to let him collect the treasure. The player must deduce what actions will have the desired effect without triggering traps or attracting the attention of the enemies. Using most of the tools causes the game to switch to a first-person point of view, and the player is expected to hold and manipulate the Wii remote as if it were the item on the screen.Action Comedy
