Quote:Marble Blast Ultra is the latest in the classic Marble Blast series. It is an online multiplayer arcade action masterpiece that is suitable for players of any age. The game takes place in a futuristic 'astrolabe' arena suspended high in the clouds, where players compete with each other by navigating their marbles through moving platforms and dangerous hazards, collecting rare gems and power up enhancements, all in an effort to complete each course in record time. Adding to the fun and excitement, players may compete with up to seven opponents in ultra blast multiplayer mode, where the race to collect gems combines with full on marble bashing to see who ultimately wins all the marbles.

I never thought this day would come

This is a tad bit belated, but I thought it was worth a mention. Marble Blast Ultra is a very big part of MB's fanbase, and I'm sure a lot of us would not be here at these forums if it wasn't for MBU. I know I wouldn't be.

Happy 7th, MBU! And here's to more years of marble blasting

Teehee, pretty close to my birthday, too =P

At first I thought that MBU was put back on the market, and I got really excited. Then I saw the date it was posted...

Happy birthday MBU! Too bad it's not very popular anymore and not available for purchase...

By the way, the tenth anniversary of Marble Blast's original release occurred in December according to the timeline, but no one mentioned it at the time. Hard to believe a game ten years old still has such a devoted following here on these forums.

Happy Birthday MBUltra, even though I was never able to play Multiplayer before on it.

I am a programmer. Most here know me for being one of the major contributors to Marble Blast Platinum and PlatinumQuest.

I'm really disappointed that they removed ti from the marketplace. Now the only people playing it (hey that's me!) would have to have bought it a long time ago.

I concur. Silly IAC -_-

MBU really sold it for me. The gameplay, the graphics, the glitches... 'twas a good adventure.

It's like we're a family remembering the birthday of a child who died before he turned 7.

I feel like the only one without a dead copy of MBU.
