Balls of Steel
Before Monkey Ball, there was Marble Madness, one of many games that drove my 9 year-old self freaking insane. I got the premise, I got what was supposed to happen, but once I got to the level where the floor shoots the marble into the air, I was done. I could not land that thing to save my life. Thankfully, in this day and age, the internet provides me with video evidence that everyone in the world is better at certain games than I am. Here’s a pretty nifty speed-run by nesguide that shows just how good someone can be at rolling a ball around.

Christ, I had forgotten about that game.
That video will bring back the nightmares tonight.

Balls of Steel. Oh the memories… *grabs Keyboard and slams it around* The sad memories of disproportional nightmares.
The music rocked though…. Hrm somehow I’m also thinking back of Solstice and Pinbot.. two odd things to think back on…

Not an accurate representation but the frustration this video conjured up reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbcctWbC8Q0&eurl=http://homestylegaming.com/&feature=player_embedded
