NICE!

I just had the best run I've ever pulled with around 136k, but that involved 3 wands... only had 90 going into Ultimate due to some really-stupid-deaths, and then had a couple unforgiveable deaths in Ultimate...

Nice to see Nathan doing well at this. I remember the first time we held a marble madness contest you were just mesmerized by the top scores, now you're entering the big league

What do you use as a controller?

Marble Madness is one of my favorite arcade games, so I had to give this contest a try. I'm not a fan of the d-pad control, but the constant replaying has improved my game a bit. I'm clocking in at 42,210 because I'm not sure I'll beat that score by 11pm tomorrow.

My son... gives me Helpful Nintendo Hints that are far too complex for the adult mind to comprehend. Here's a verbatim example: "OK, there's Ganon and miniature Ganon and there's these things like jelly beans and the miniature Ganon is more powerfuller, because when you touch him the flying eagles come down and the octopus shoots red rocks and the swamp takes longer." And the hell of it is, I know he's right. - Dave Barry

I'm getting things started a little bit earlier this week because I will be out for most of the afternoon, so the Life Force contest is now live. Marble Madness will not be ending early and still continues until 11 PM NA time tonight. If you're tired of Marble Madness, give Life Force a try

I finally managed to make it past the start of the last maze. I got stuck on the ice a bit further down and lost nearly 15 seconds before finally falling off. This was the furthest I have ever gotten in this game, so I am happy with that.

Great scores guys! Just make sure when you update your score that you take down your old one as it makes it easier to tally up. Definitely wouldn't want an old score to be counted.

I finally beat the dame thing but with a pretty bad score. I have gotten nearly that much before without even beating it. I only have a few more attempts left in me today so that will probably be my best.

I only took this picture I've gotten further and higher but not even close. I hate the last level I want to smash my controller

Score updated! Beat the game but took many deaths not in Ultimate race, but rather, Silly Race. Ugh! Still a very fun game and very unique to the NES library. Was fun! ^>^

This is my first experience with this game. My feelings are mixed on the gameplay (playiong on an Xbox 360 controller certainly doesn't help), but the music has a lot of neat things going for it.

Beat it again, this time with 21 seconds on the clock. I tried to get my pic on the endgame screen but couldnt pull it off. I hate that part on Ultimate!
