I found this to be ironic. Ads of MB on the forums.

Also that means people could still buy marble blaster on disk if they buy it from amazon. Just saying.

www.amazon.com/Marble-Blast-Pc/dp....ble+Blast+g old

oh and yeah eGames (the official disk maker of MB) is still selling it as shown on this link.

Reminds me of the time I found a Marble Blast (not gold) disk in one of those claw-esque machines at a movie theater. It's probably still there.

Still, very ironic.

Either that or it's the new ads for people code they've been making. Let's say you love cats and that's all you do on the computer. Your advertisements are going to be all about cats. This is why people who complain about how they get ads for inappropriate things get embarrassed when people work it out with logic...

I think there is a custom ABP filter you can ad, and/or a Google pref that will prevent sites from tracking you.

Question is, is it for PC or Mac?

All but this one have it, because it is as old as Marble Blaster itself, and everything is horribly out of date. But I just disable plugins and 3rd party cookies. Saves my computer from melting. I can always enable them if I need to. And I don't need flash or java, anyway.

And Marbleblast Gold, if I recall, just added gold times and a few dozen more levels. And maybe a few bugfixes.

I know what Marble Blaster is, its how I found out about the game. It was pre-installed on my dads computer. It was named MarbleBlast and not Marble Blaster. I thought Marble Blaster was a name people in the community gave it to set it apart from MBG better. So i didnt know it was actually called Marble Blaster and I didnt know it was ever available on disc.

Marble Blaster and Marble Blast are the same exact thing afaik. Just have 2 different box'd names. Blaster was only sold on disc though, but Marble Blast was both on disc and on GG iirc.

To fulfill my OCPD, the last level was actually Dive!. It had a time limit and no spawn text. So there is a slight difference. Also, no gold times. It also did not have shadowed text in its Torque. The gold levels make it add up to 100 (24+24+52).

fyi, a disk is the software kind, and a disc is the hardware kind.
But actually it doesn't matter at all. I use disc when specifically referring to CDs. So Marble Blaster would be a disc.

Other way around. Compact disc vs for example hard disk drive

What I meant
It's confusing 'cause both things are pieces of hardware with software on them…

I remember it because software (disc) and hardware (disk) have a distinguishing letter. disc sounds softer because of the commonly used c that doesn't take the k sound often, instead taking s. k on the other hand, cannot be used as an s.

The method I use is, CD starts with 'c', so a CD is a disc.

I just remember that CD is an acronym for Compact Disc, so I can tell when it isn't a CD.

Note: that disc (disk?) envelope is different than that of the image Jeff posted.

I'm surprised, the Blaster is overpriced by $10 and that's only comparing it to Gold. I remember getting my Blaster for $6 (or was it $10?)

That's Gauntlet, a part of Upward Spiral or Whirl, and a level name in Beginner I can't remember.

I will!

edit: Also that's gotta be Upward Spiral, Whirl was never in Blaster.
