Marble Madness was better at home

Reading Marc Normandin’s Marble Madness retrospective got me thinking about NES ports that were better than their arcade counterparts. And that led me to a blog called Nerdy Pleasures that has a pretty good list of them, categorized in various ways. I was always blind to this as a kid because the arcade versions looked and sounded so much more impressive.

(That said, I always thought Marble Madness played better and looked more vibrant at home, and I never missed the trackball.)
