How did you hear about it?

I'm just asking, since Marble Blast's popularity is in bad shape now.
Possibly something that's lacking today may have caused you to get into this game in the past.

Me? It was pre-installed in my first Mac computer.

My niece needed help on some beginner level (pitalls? platform party? maybe winding road....?) so I helped her out. Bought the game 2 months after I got back to Australia when I remembered about it.

In 4th grade (2005) I found it on the school computers. That got a ton of people interested in the game in my elementary school, but I never thought about buying it. A few years later, I did buy it and made my first Marble Blast video [
] (2008) which is also when I started Marble Blast Emerald privately. It wasn't until the second half of the year when I made a few videos and rct3fan00 and Cawdude contacted me wishing to help. I learned how to make custom levels mid-2008 and learned QuArK late-2008.

So there.

Picked out Marble Blast(not Gold) from the dollar bin at a store, I forget what store it was. Then I got MBG when MBP came out due to the fact that I needed it. That's why I didn't know what a gold time was when I started making custom levels.

I was on YahooGames years ago in 2004, found it, and downloaded it. I loved it, and a few years later (2009), my dad bought it.

I wonder how Xelna got into it...
I love you, but your attitude is like that of a shrew. Your options? Take a pill or be my kill. Might I suggest that you wear a vest. Perish in class or be banished to the land of bluegrass, where dreams don't exist as you'll be eternally pissed.

I was about eight years old, looking around shockwave for games. Found MB. Something about it just made me want to get it, I guess it was the simplicity of the gameplay.

My dad saw it preinstalled on a Mac he was working on, and thought I'd like it. I did.

Technostar says his 1st grade classmates were playing it on a school computer so he thought he would try it out. He liked it. I learned about it from him. All of that took place in early 2008.

Some old Marble Blaster Demo thingie came on a CD (along with other games) which I bought some time ago. It clearly was my favourite along all other games there. (I remember I played a later MBG demo with 6 levels over and over and over again).

In 2006, my dad showed me MBUltra, and I loved it. Then I looked for it on the computer, and found MBG.

Lamp47, Nihahhat, and I all found it on our school computers. Then it got banned because cheaters bugged up the school's network. Two years later we all got it back, and found MBP and we've been addicted every since.

I saw an online ad for InstantAction. Then I met heaven for about a year. Then IAC crushed... my life. It made my life so hard! I was totally a new person, but now miserable! So basically InstantAction then I got into Marble Blast Online.

This.
I started creating my own levels in the level editor at school at lunch times (Better than playing handball ) and everyone was amazed at the crazy levels I created. Eg. A mix of KotM and Pipe dreams

Around 2005-2006 I was searching in Yahoo Games for a good game, then I found Marble Blast Gold Demo. I thought this looks good. I played it and eventually bought it on RealArcade.
