The developers of this game did an brilliant job in making this game as close to the original arcade version as possible! All the obstacles, enemies, and stages are all there, just like how I remembered it! The only difference is that you can control the mineral with a stylus pen, which is certainly way simpler than trying to control it with the directional buttons. For those people who has played the original arcade version, and are tired of playing Solitaire, I strongly recommend getting Mineral Madness.

This is a blast. I spent many hours on the arcade version way back when, and when I saw this was available for my PDA I snatched it up immediately. I find it simpler to use the stylus rather than the directional button (I’m playing on an iPAQ). For $10 you can’t beat it.

This is a solid translation of the original arcade game.
Everything from the characters, physics and music of the game are well intact, for the complete ‘Retro’ feel of the 80’s.
Back when gaming was splendid and eye-hand coordination was at its best for competition of high scores.
And what better game to show ‘consistency’ and ‘grace’ than with Mineral Madness.
Controlling a Mineral owing to different tedious mazes of difficulty is not as simple as it sounds,
as most of you know or will find out.
The pen control option is the best anyone as come to the original track-ball control.
All movements of the Mineral is controlled owing to the different swipes of the pen.
Small quick swipes will cause the Mineral to ’shoot’ in the management of the swipe.
A long slow curve of the swipe will cause the Mineral to follow the movement and not lose alacrity.
I am very pleased with this conversion of the game,
as many of you will too.
A Must Buy for fans of Ancient,
or even for ones just looking for a excellent solid game.

Yes, this product is pretty cool. From what I’ve played so far, it seems to be a excellent port of the addictive coin-op game from so long ago. My one complaint is that the control is more hard, but to be honest, I really can’t reflect of any better way to do it.
By the way, there are Pocket PC ports of MAME, so if you want the “Poor Man’s Mineral Madness,” or any ancient arcarde game for that matter, you might want to look into that instead. If you just want to play Mineral Madness and don’t care what platform you play it on, get the PC version of MAME instead. It’s much simpler to play, and much cheaper, too (i.e. free). But of course, that won’t impress the people at work as much…
