No, not the game for Nintendo. The new demo for Mac. It's addicting, an if you want more, you can pay for the full version online.

Yeah I'm about to go try it out, but can it beat the Nintendo classic? That's the real question.

It's Marble Blast. The gameplay is also different on many aspects.

As for it beating the Nintendo's Marble Madness? Anything beats Nintendo's Marble Madness. Although MM's concept was fun, the gameplay sucked pretty bad. You had a 4-way direction D-Pad to control an analoguous movement of a marble on a 3D terrain rotated 45-degrees.

Sorry but I like my thumb, and I'm not going to make it suffer through the frustrating and awkward gameplay required to play Marble Madness using a gamepad.

Marble Blast reminds me more of a 3D version of Oxyd.

Try it on MacMame-

You can use a scroll wheel or mouse. And it's the original rom image.

FUN!
