Feeling like you’ve lost your marbles? You can find them all on today’s episode of The VGMbassy. From Marble Madness on the NES to Marble It Up! on the Switch, this show covers the history of rolling digital balls through dangerous mazes. Ed’s youngest son Logan has picked out some of his favorite music from these games, and explains what makes marble games so dang fun!
