Cool game. :cool:

Rather than start a new thread on this, I was thinking the other day if anybody knew of a marble madness style game? I've wanted to play that game for ages, and it just seems the perfect sort flash game controlled with a mouse but I've never seen one. :confused:

wow that's boring.

Uses keys though... hmm must be something better

My score was 430 lol

that's actually kind of an interesting take on the old arkanoid/breakout style games. it gets dull quick, but there's potential there. i'm sure arcanoid fans will agree!

Got to the level with 5 balls.

Score board is all messed up

yeah, completely agree. i was just using it as an example, for the people who don't know what breakout/arcanoid is (to back up my previous post).
dxball is proabably the best one for pc.

Excellent game breakout or whatever it was called originally.

I first played it when my Dad got DX-Ball and DX-Ball 2, then played Rebound & also Breakquest (bit more extreme versions of the originals

).

me and some co-workers once got a stern telling off for playing dxball at work by our md. it was hilarious actually, several people got involved in trying to be top of the highscore table. people who didn't like each other, so at one point it became far more serious than it was ever intended to be!

Seems that DX-Ball is free now? Or was it always free? I'm not sure as I played that one when I was about 6-10 :eek:

Van Hellseek · 31 Aug 2006 at 04:31

dx-ball 1 has always been free as far as i've known. it was around 2003/4 that i first played it i think. i reckon it was just dxball2 that you had to pay for.

I remember playing a game that gave the user a set number of pieces that a marble would run over and they had to place them so that the marble could make it from start to finish. The pieces included chutes, catapults, springs, and teleporters (possibly a few more) The twist was that players could also make their own puzzles and upload them for everybody else to try. I was playing it a couple of years ago but can't remember the name of it

Any body have a clue as to what I'm on about?

Dr.EM · 31 Aug 2006 at 09:34

We have something that looks identical to that DX ball on our Amiga C1200, called megaball. Still fully working last time we used it
