Marble Madness was Atari's first game to use the Atari System 1 hardware and to be programmed in the C programming language. Cerny drew inspiration from miniature golf, racing games, and artwork by M. The game was ported to numerous platforms and inspired the development of other games. With the exception of the first race, any time left on the clock at the end of a race is carried over to the next one, and the player is granted a set amount of additional time as well. Each course has a distinct visual theme. Development lasted 10 months. Following the North American video game crash of 1983, video game development within Atari focused on providing a distinctive experience through the use of a unique control system and by emphasizing a simultaneous two-player mode.
