    Marble Madness is literally half the game it once was, but Klax makes this two-pack worth the price of admission.

    I find it very strange that one game is so good and the other one so bad. Perhaps the title of this duo should have been re-titled Jekyll and Hyde. It's like the developers just gave up on Marble Madness halfway through the development process.

    I've never seen a port of Marble Madness as awful as this GBA game -- and I've actually owned the terrible Apple IIGS version, and reviewed the glitchy Game Boy Color game in year's past.

    Regarding Klax, it's a very playable and overall good version of the classic puzzle game- and what makes this cartridge worth the few bucks you'd pay for it at a thrift store or on eBay.    … Full Review »

    Klax rocks, as it always does. It's the reason I bought the cart, so i'm not *too* upset. But Marble Madness may as well not be Klax rocks, as it always does.
