1CCBBH - 452. Marble Madness II (1 Credit Clear) [DEPRECATED - incorrect emulation]
23[this play was done on a version of MAME where the game was running at the incorrect speed, it's too slow compared to what it's supposed to be, which makes it much easier. I've since uploaded a new video with the proper speed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siW31W95sMA ]
For years people have wanted to play this game, the roms remaining hoarded up for whatever reason and kept from the public, with nobody able to play it unless a collector brings their cabinet to California Extreme or something. But finally, as of May 2022, the roms are out there! Everyone can finally play Marble Madness II: Marble Man! Was it worth the wait? Well.... I know of a few people that definitely like it, but I can't say I'm really a fan of it overall. Adding more levels to the game seems like a slam dunk idea, giving players more content and value for their quarters (had it actually been released), but... I'm really not a fan of the level design of a lot of these new levels. They're usually designed to waste as much of your time as possible, with lots of obnoxious enemies trying to squish you. I feel like the designers didn't realize that one of the most appealing aspects of the original game was the whole racing nature of the game, as expert players at the original Marble Madness can speed through the levels and make it a really fun game to watch. I'm also kinda surprised at how easy it was to 1CC, the later stages give you loads of time by default and I was able to route this much quicker than I expected. But hey, try it yourself and draw your own conclusions (if you can find a build of MAME that runs it, or just wait for version 0.245 at the end of the month)

1CCBBH is a stream project in which I'm attempting to clear as many arcade games as possible on 1 credit, without continues. I am currently going through a bunch of games I've cleared before, and eventually will be tackling some new games I hadn't gotten a 1CC on yet.
