Anyone ever play this game? I think it was called "Ball"

[Maximilian]

It was on windows 3.1, i have no idea how it got there because i didnt have the internet and installing software was beyond the 8 year old me. I was exploring the various system files, looking for interesting things to click on. Eventually i found a game, it was a top down puzzle kinda game where you were a ball, and you had to guide this ball through the levels. It had pretty decent graphics, think simcity 2000 graphics and top down view but as a puzzle game with a ball. You could burst the ball by running into spikes and stuff.

Was this game actually called ball? I cant find anything on it, anyone remember it? Can i download it and play it? I had a lot more fun with it than i had with windows 95's "hover".

EDIT: Actually googling "ball puzzle game" and seeing actual ball puzzle games makes me think this was more of an adventure type game of some sort with puzzle elements. You could move around the map sort of thing, like in diablo II, with the same viewpoint.

Thats the closest thing so far says google image! The colors are way off though, i had a red ball im pretty sure, and it looked nicer, although there seems to be a ton of versions of marble madness so it couldve been a different version from what google image is showing.

I remember where it came from now, i didnt install it, the guy we bought the computer from did, 486SX with an undetermined amount of ram and HDD space, said "colossus" on the front. Yeah, he sold us the comp with simcity 2000 on it, and this possibly marble madness thing too, but he never showed us that i just randomly found it one day.

Hmm, nah it definately wasent marble madness. The game im thinking of you had to move the ball one square at a time, it didnt roll all over the place or go diagonal. The graphics were better too.

Marble Madness for the Amiga was an impressive feat of Graphics back in '87ish.
