There is also a marble game for the XBOX Live Arcade that's pretty decent, but there isn't any tilting boards, plus you can make the marble "jump".

I found that game to be too hard, as your tilting the board with the wii-mote. It's really easy to go too fast and fall right off the edge, anyways..

Yes, and if it's anywhere near as good as Marble Blast Ultra on the 360 it'll be awesome.

I still have the cartridge stashed away somewhere. Was hard as hell playing it as a kid. :)

Old Skewel Amiga baby!

One of my favorite games. Along with ArcticFox. I can remember running around Antarctica trying to find that damn base when I was looking at the back of the game box. Had a shot of the command center WITH coordinates right there!

Of course, that was back when Electronic Arts was a good company.

They made it? I thought I had everything ever made for the 64/128. I require your copy of marble madness.

I used to play marble Madness endlessly back when the only version around was the arcade console you pumped quarters into.

I've played other versions but nothing comes close to the arcade-quality ball controller on the original.

+1! Yeah I did the same thing. Those were the days. I want to buy the original coin-up versions of Moon Patrol, Tron, Sinistar, Dig Dug, Galaga, Star Trek, Star Wars, and a whole bunch more I can't remember right now! :)

Easy money. You're on!

NiteWulf: Forgets to put down gear on first platform. Oops. Next platform, the guy hailing the cab gets pushed off the patform, and yells 'HAY!' as he goes into oblivion.
Evadman: uses secret combo to unlock all levels. Instant Win! I like pi!
