Hey tien! I followed your instructions and I see the intro screen (with the keys and everything) but when I press a key to enter the game the screens stays black with two zero's on the bottom. I've tried waiting but it stays the same after 10 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? I'm very curious to ...

Hey everyone! I'm very glad to know that I'm not alone in finding this game! I'll try to give you more details about the game. As I said before, it only came out as a demo in 96 along the Sidewinder Gamepad, so we are probably looking for version 1.0 of the cd. The cd came with the marbles demo and ...

CDR is just an iso so it will burn fine :) Seems to work in VMware Fusion now too but not in 64 bit Windows 7. I'll try and extract the game later Thanks again Tien! Let us know if you manage to extract and run the game Wally. I didn't know about VMware Fusion, I would like to try and run the game ...

Hi Tien, I can't actually get the CD to mount. Can you try ripping it again? Thanks for providing it though :) Hey Wally, have you tried using PowerIso? It worked with me. So, as predicted, I can't even open the setup on Windows 7 (even with compability to 95). I'm now asking for help/directions on...

Hey tienkhoanguyen! :) Thank you so much, I did really care about finding this and I'm very grateful. I'm still going to mess with it and see if I can get it to work.

It's always felt like I can't search for Marble Madness without finding umpty-ump versions of this game on the less legit gaming web. Maybe instead of looking for the game you can look for demos of the Microsoft Plus or whatever Entertainment pack this was a part of? More descriptive mentions: http...

Microsoft Manic Marbles PC Demo/Trial 1996
Hello everyone! Microsoft Manic Marbles (aka just Microsoft Marbles) was a PC demo included on the cd of the first Sidewinder Gamepad, back in 1996, that was planned to be released on 1997 but got cancelled. It was one of my first and favorite games as a kid. The game was packed with action and had ...
