There are conversions for nearly every home computer and console. The quality was very varyiyng. You 'll find ratings from
:-((( to :-))) here. The "technical quality" rates the conversion in relation to the respective hardware. The original arcade game naturally has the following rating:
Technical quality: :-))))
Gameplay: :-))))
Some of the elder conversions are available for download. They may or may not run on your vintage hardware or emulator. For emulators, check Retrogames or Sys2064.

- Gameboy black and white 1991:
A rather acurate conversion. Not very playable due to the small joypad and the unsharp screen, but as good as possible. Even 2 player game via GameLink cable is possible.
Technical quality: :-)))
Gameplay: :-)

- Gameboy color 1999:
Rather new conversion with colors and samples. Unfortunately, it is not really better than the 1991 conversion. Some of the graphics are more sloppy and less original. No 2 player game possible. Still a rather good game. Available at your dealer.
Technical quality: :-/
Gameplay: :-)

- Sega Master System/GameGear: A very accurate conversion compared to the weak 8bit-hardware. The GameGear-Version is identical but has a lower resolution.
Technical quality: :-)))
Gameplay: :-)

- Amiga 1986: According to the german games mag "Happy computer" from1986 , this game was a middle sensation. This is true. Maybe this was the first killer application for the new Amiga computer.
If you had a second Amiga mouse (or a modified Atari mouse), you could play it with 2 players, but it had some evil slowdowns then, especially in the last level.

That was unfair for one of the players sometimes. The game was great, but today, where you can compare it to the original version running in Mame, you are surprised how much worse it is.

- C64 1986: They even tried a C64-Conversion. That game was nearly impossible to play, cause you newer knew where you really were and often died with no reason.
Technical quality: :-))
Gameplay: :-((

- Atari ST: Although the Atari ST had similar hardware to the Amiga, this release rather was a C64-conversion. Compared to the hardware, this version was extremely bad. (My cousin and me began a better conversion back in 1986 before this one was released, but we failed to finish it).
Technical quality: :-(((

- IBM PC/XT 4.75 Mhz: Yeah! There even was a conversion for these trashy CGA-Graphics. The colors naturally where light blue, pink, black and white. Hardly playable game, but still great compared to the bad hardware. (On an antique Tandy or PCjunior, you should have better graphics with 16 colors and better sound, but I never tested that). If you use the enclosed software brake, this game still runs on modern Gigahertz-Hardware (Win98). Steeringkeys are a, w, d and x. Great for a laugh and a nostalgia flash!

- Pentium PC 1998: Midway/Digital Eclipse has released a collection of Atari System 1 and System 2 games for Windows 95/98 called Atari Collection 2. Although these are true emulations, it is faster than Mame, cause it does not emulate the sound but plays it as huge (huge!) samples. See section "Emulation" for more info.

- Apple 2 GS: I have not tested this conversion, but the screenshots look good.

- Sinclair Spectrum Marble Madness Deluxe Edition: I have not tested this conversion, but the ratings are great.-

- Sinclair Spectrum Marble Madness Construction Kit 1986: I have not tested this conversion, but the ratings are great.-

- Lynx: Since some years, this conversion is anounced. Screenshots are floating around. But as15 years ago, in the Atari scene many things stay announced forever. :-(

- Atari Jaguar: Since some years, this conversion is anounced. But as 15 years ago, in the Atari scene many things stay announced forever. :-(

- X68000: I have not tested this conversion.

- NES 1988: I have not tested this conversion.

- Sega Genesis 1991: Rather perfect graphics like on the Amiga. (But no analog controls possible!) Rather simple sound.
Technical quality:
:-))
Gameplay: :-)

- Armstrad/Schneider CPC64: I have not tested this conversion.

- Playstation (Midway): This seems to be true emulation and very similar to the one for the Pentium PC. i

- Pocket PC/Windows CE: Released 2002 by IOBox/NuvoStudios. Plays like a true emulation, sound seems to be realized by using low quality samples. You need at least 200 Mhz to get decent speed. The pencil can be used to simulate a trackball. Only one player game possible. Marvellous!
