# Analog Marble Gaming Consoles The 'A Maze' Game Console Has a Stylish and Antiquated Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-07-16 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-maze-game-console References: [dudeiwantthat](http://www.dudeiwantthat.com/entertainment/games/a-maze-analogue-electric-marble-gaming-console.asp) & [marcoiannicelli](https://marcoiannicelli.com/portfolio-posts/a-maze/?utm_source=dudeiwantthat.com&utm_medium=referral) The 'A Maze' game console is an [analog approach to video games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-console) that will provide players with the ability to enjoy a [classic arcade pastime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamestation-retro) without the need for a traditional computer system. Designed and built by Marco Iannicelli, the unit consists of a marble construction that has been carved with a [marble maze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funpop-tabletop-pinball-game) into it that is controlled via the integrated electronic joystick. This has players moving the maze accordingly to get the marble from the beginning to the end, which could take some time given the complex nature of the puzzle. The 'A Maze' game console is accented by a minimalistic base that features sturdy legs and places the unit at the optimal height for guests to play when they come over for a visit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Analog Gaming Consoles:** Creating analog versions of popular gaming consoles offers a unique and nostalgic gaming experience. - **Arcade-style Gaming:** Reviving the classic arcade gaming experience with unique and innovative designs. - **Minimalistic Game Design:** Designing game consoles with a minimalist aesthetic to create a stylish and modern gaming experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Consoles:** Developing and manufacturing innovative gaming consoles with analog gameplay for retro gaming enthusiasts. - **Interior Design:** Integrating gaming consoles with unique designs and minimalistic aesthetics to enhance interior decor. - **Entertainment Centers:** Creating entertainment centers that offer a blend of modern technology and nostalgic gaming experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Marble Mazes Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-maze.md) - [Ultra-Compact Gamer Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-gaming-console.md) - [Ultra-Minimal Arcade Gaming Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-arcade-cabinet.md) - [Nostalgic 90s-Inspired Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analogue-3d-funtastic.md) - [Chic Retro Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-gamestation.md) - [Industrial Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocketman-p1.md) - [Freestanding Retro Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vectrex-mini.md) - [Pillow-Like Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade1up-pacman-couchcade.md) - [Buildable Marble Mazes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-magic-maze.md)
