Marble Madness clone
Posted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 10:07 pm
Hi all!
back in the 80's there was a cool game called marble madness...
it was before its time...
non- violent, yet lots of action, and fun to play...
here you can learn more about it...:
http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?let ... me_id=8618
and here:
http://www.bodenstaendig.de/marble/
and here it is , with the MAME version if you want to try it out...
http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/marble.shtml
....
Well, anyways, I am going to try doing a remake of it...
I already have some levels designed, and some player models in game...
I need some control help, and perhaps some help on getting bad guys to just push the player off the edge...
other than that , I am able to make all the map booby traps myself,...
the intended audiance will be young children - very intoxicated adults....
the non violent nature will make it cool for all audiances
I intend on building a full arcade version for my home... i will Post all the bluprints and instructions for others to build their own too
looks like I can get the HAPP ball controllers pretty cheap... the only other thing would be a player start button, and perhapsa jump button
If i can get RF working with a LAN, I might make a 2 player cabinate, with seperate monitors for each player...
BTW
it will not be an exact clone... the artwork will be much more updated...
there will be a Jump... and also it will be much faster pace.
I will post a demo as soon as i have a few levels linked together.
players will be going thru Dungeon, Space, dungeons & Dragons themed worlds to keep it interesting...
