I loved the tactile feeling of the heavy trackball the upright arcade machine used. The music and sound effects were awesome as well, and kept me coming back. In fact, if it weren't for this machine and the Star Wars vector arcade game, I'd have made 95% fewer trips to Wal-Mart, where the games hung out in the foyer. Those were the days, for sure.
The game is pretty basic but Blockbuster video still managed to get tens of dollars out of me since this was one of my go to rentals whenever I couldnt find a game I wanted. You move a marble around a basic 3d environment while things try to break it. It's a little clumsy and difficult in many spots but for some reason, it can be fun.

Trackball games rule, this is a complete and unavoidable fact, and it's very sad that it's so hard to recreate them. Mobile's done a decent job but you only get the acceleration of the push and not the satisfaction of the stop and realign motion. Anyways this game is gorgeous art and sound on top of being brilliantly controlled.
