UPDATE: Beaglepuss called me with some news...

Sadly, the EPROM was mislabeled. Instead of owning a Marble Madness prototype, he actually possesses a prototype of RBI Baseball. All is not lost, however. You can listen to songs from Marble Madness when pitching. Remarkably, all of the players on your team resemble marbles with stubby appendages.

Beaglepuss said he will provide more info when he has the opportunity.


I dunno if I want to laugh or cry. Then again, if it was RBI baseball and put frogs in place of the ball...

Bumpity bump bump!  Just don't want this being forgotten about.  I will say again, I'd love to see/hear some youtube videos of the music!

I enjoyed Marble Madness on the NES a lot.  I'd likely be willing to buy a Turbo version, but I'm curious about the legalities of such.  Were rights purchased or just the prototype?

More than Marble Madness though, I'd be curious to see the Supergrafx port of Strider show up somewhere.

Well, I hope we didn't scare off BeaglePuss.  I consider this game TG history!  We could go in a make our own version of Marble Madness, but it wouldn't be historically the original game, if that makes any sense :?  In any case, this belongs in a museum! :D

Indeed.

I'm sure he knows that there are reasonable folks here (and in the TG-16 community at large) and that loudmouths do not represent everyone in the community. He must know this, because he's done this before.

I have faith that BeaglePuss is not going to let a few dorks at pcefx.com muss his feathers.
