Marble Madness marks the first time that a video game tried to capture an emotional journey that had a moral after you completed the last level, and thus was originally labeled an educational video game. This almost killed it before it started and so developers took out the cut-scenes (in which John would initiate challenges and threaten younger children with violence) and devoted the extra 3-bits to graphics.

- Marble Madness was a game released to the NES and Game Boy in 1989 and 1991 respectively. It involved navigating a marble through increasingly complex mazes within a specified time limit. Leftover minutes from the previous level were carried over. The game was originally an arcade game, and utilized a trackball. Because the NES game used the D-pad instead, the controls were notably harder. The NES version was released by Milton Bradley. A revamped version was released a decade later for the Game Boy Color.

| abstract
| - Marble Madness marks the first time that a video game tried to capture an emotional journey that had a moral after you completed the last level, and thus was originally labeled an educational video game. This almost killed it before it started and so developers took out the cut-scenes (in which John would initiate challenges and threaten younger children with violence) and devoted the extra 3-bits to graphics. However players could still get a sense of quest from the randomised dialogue that would happen randomly throughout the game. For example John could often be heard saying “I’m going to get my Marbles back from that unsportsmanly fellow.” When criticised for not having realistic enough dialogue, the developers insisted that it was set in a private, all-boys, grammar school in Middle England and not Japan as the typo on the box stated.
