Hey,
The Platinum Team tries to continue to support Marble Blast Platinum for as many users as possible. Recently, we had to drop Mac OS X 10.6 support because of compiling issues with the newer code. However, those issues have now been resolved, and we have decided to add Mac OS X 10.6 support back into Marble Blast Platinum 1.50. The game client has been tested on an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 (the latest patch to Snow Leopard). This has no affect on Windows users in any way. For those of you who had to update your Mac client to play the game, I am sorry that this patch did not come sooner. I wasn't sure if this was going to compile for Mac OS X 10.6, but it ended up working in the long run. Sorry to keep you all waiting.
Looking into the future, I might try to add Intel Mac OS X 10.5.8 support if time permits, as well as a possibility of a PowerPC version. No guarantees; however, quite a bit of code would have to be rewritten as there are some dependencies on the Snow Leopard version of Mac OS X.
To all OS X 10.6 users, have fun with Marble Blast Platinum 1.50 and enjoy it!

After 2.5 years since inception, the final build of Marble Blast Platinum 1.50 sees the day of light. This release sees over 50 additions, changes and fixes. A new Terms of Service has been written (thanks to Aayrl and HiGuy), and a Help button appears on the Main Menu which contains loads of information. Both are a must read for all users.
A new launcher has also been released and is required to download. It updates the directory from platinumbeta -> platinum and also adds a Times Importer, so you can take all your prefs files from MBG and MBP (1.14, 1.20, 1.50 beta 1 - rc2) and thus have all your latest progress in one prefs file. The best part of the launcher is that it auto-updates, so you no longer have to download another one after this.
With this we are hoping that everyone will enjoy 1.50 and the many features it has brought you all.
Now then, I did hear of FUBAR resuming development... :)
