I would gladly pay a fair $$$ to help offset Beagle's cost for acquiring Marble Madness.

The real kicker, though, and I think I am at liberty to reveal this, is that Beagle has recently acquired PC Cocoron (though it seems to be a very early build and most likely is missing elements that would have been in the final game).

I hope this works out well for both Beaglepuss and the TG-16 community. I'd love to play a TG-16 version of Marble Madness (even if it is rough around the edges/incomplete).


PC Cocoron has been a grail for years. I would definitely contribute towards seeing both of these dumped and released to the community.

Do you guys read other threads? Beagle posted recently here.
Being the pollyanna SOB that I am, I made the mistake of expressing enthusiasm and willingness to pay something for a MM release. Such a gushing bloodshed of optimism brought the usual crowd of fun haters around and much drama ensued ("it's copyrighted!" "settle for the NES version!" "there are 600 other games on the PCE, why add one more!" "give away your $10,000 game for free!") Haven't heard anything from Beagle since.

At this point I think it is fake,
It's most likely real. Beagle has a history of releasing stuff for a token return on the purchase price and provided links in that other thread. I wandered into some other VG forum recently and he seems to be a respected member of other boards, he's just not a NEC diehard.

Wait, what?  Are you serious, or joking?

BeaglePuss is one of the founders of NintendoAge/SegaAge websites/forums.  He's on them all the time.  They have released prototype roms in the past, not sure what they're looking to do with this one.

I know some people aren't in for getting this game from Beaglepuss, but I personally wish we could pull funds together or something to acquire it.  Even though I suck at the game, I've always had an obsession with Marble Madness, along with Paperboy, 720, & Toobin'.  I've tried reaching out to Beagle to see if there's any way I can help, like maybe doing redbook tunes for a cd release, but I have yet to receive an answer. :(

Lock this thread already.  The guy came here and waved his dick around and now it is essentially dead.

I second that motion, he hasn't been active on these forums for 6 months now.

STATUS: Am I the only one who wants more penis-waving in this thread?

 

I would love Marble Madness (even if unfinished)...
