My friend played MBU and it seemed familiar somehow. I bought it when I first bought an Xbox and instantly overcame the rest of my friends so I guess that gave me a motive to play. MBP was just as easy to play at the start.

It seemed to be very popular at my school in 2008 so I decided to try and later I bought MBG.

Found it on my grandmother's iBook G4. She apparently couldn't beat Air Movement, so I helped her out

When I was in... Third Grade, I think, Jeff came home, and told me about this marble maze game, Called Marble Blast Gold. So I found the demo, and I played it every night on Ordeal. I finally beat it, and bugged my mom to death when I was in fourth grade, On October 6th, 2007. She said, no. I asked 5 more times within the hour. A couple minutes later, she came up-stairs and said, "Alright, lets get this game." So I bought it. Three Months later I had the whole game done . Thats how my marble-blasting adventure started.

I got MBG off of MSN Games. I love breakout games (you know, where you bat the ball and bust the bricks, blah, blah, blah...) I downloaded the Marble Blast free trial without reading the description. I thought it was a breakout game. When I played it, it turned out I was very wrong. It was annoying and frustrating, but fun at the same time. I could not put it down. Now, the nice thing about MSN Games 60-minute free-trials is when your free trial expires, it doesn't kick you immediately out of the game. You can keep playing, but when you exit the game, you can't get back in. I loaded the game, and started pushing through levels. The free trial was running on my computer for almost 3 days. I had made it to the level Acrobat before my computer crashed and my free trial was gone. I asked my dad for the full game, and he gave it to me for Christmas. What a great dad!

When I was in Wal-Mart, and then seen this pretty box by eGames (or whatever it is) and it looked interesting. So I bought it; and thats how it started.

You can keep playing, but when you exit the game, you can't get back in. I know right? I took advantage of that for a few years .

5th or 6th Grade (2005 I think, IDK) my school got 2 new iMacs, they came with MBG. After lunch a bunch of kids would run to the library to play MBG, on a first come first serve basis. I always got to play when I showed up though, because I was the best at it. Shortly after my family got our first mac (and first new computer, it was a gift which came with MBG. I quickly played way past the school computers. Eventually I finished all of the levels, and forgot about the game. At some point I reopened it, and decided to beat all of the gold times (which I failed at). Looking up videos on how to beat Gold Times I found MBP videos. Tried to install it but it didn't work (OEM MBG). Made an account here (if you look at my profile you will see that my account name is "helpme" ) ended up staying, and getting normal MBG in a creative (but entirely legal) way, and therefore MBP. Oh, and now I HAVE beat all of the gold times

This is a weird story: NOTE: I discovered Marble Blast Gold when I was 7. MBG came installed on my mac. I downloaded this music making program called "Live 6" and there was this window on the side that showed what folder you were in and what music was in the folder and I went into: Applications/Games/MarbleBlast Gold/marble/data/sounds. I wondered what sounds these were, but I knew these in some game or application called Marble Blast Gold. I asked mom if I could play Marble Blast Gold. She said OK. The first level I played was "Learning to Roll" (duh). I kept going "Out of Bounds" (or "Out of Buns" as I thought it said.) Let's skip ahead a little... Now were at when I got to the "Shock Absorber" training level. IT WAS SOO HARD BACK THEN!!! . I finally finished it after we got a pumpkin for Halloween or something. ............Now we are at when I got to "Platform Party" It was easy until I got to the second platform that goes sideways. I kept falling off that one! When I still couldn't finish that level I left MBG on the menu for too long and it started to play a demo. I thought I was playing the next level "Winding Road" but it was actually the level "Whirl". ........Now were at when I got to the level "Jump Jump Jump" This level was hard too. I WAS SOO UPSET! . Dad said he wanted to take me to Costco. I said yes. When I got home the clock on top of the screen said 99:59.99 and was flashing. I stared to throw a big tantrum. After I finally finished that level. Now I can play MBG pretty well. THE END.

Was playing on my grandfather's computer during winter holidays. He entered the room and told me he had a directory full of games. I started browsing through them. Tried a few of em... Last one I tried was Marble Blast Gold... in 2005. The beginning of an epic journey.

I sure haven't posted in a while! But here it goes. Do you guys remember Ian Valentino? He is the reason I found Marble Blast, and got me hooked. I saw his WAY older youtube videos on Marble Blast, and it looked soooo fun. So the second I could buy MBG, I downloaded his levels, and made my own A.S.A.P. I used to stay in contact with him all the time. I always PM'd him. Now That I look back I could have quite annoying Anyway, I saw his Marble Blast Emerald video saying he needed people to help. But he had already said the project was down. But I told him if he could put it back up and that I'd love to help. Oh, how horrible MBE was the first month of production I remember PRE - ALPHA 0.99 or something like that. Good times. Ever since MBE I've been even more into Marble Blast. Lately though, it's been, just there. I am in a mod, which I haven't been contributing to much But I need to get myself organized since school will start in 2 days. Once I'm organized, I will put some time into Marble Blast each day. MB FTW !

Saw it on school computers in 5th grade.
I still suck in playing the game after 6 years, but what keeps me in is the coding.

The game was installed on some computers at the science museum that I would go to, where me and my friends spent atleast 2 hours trying to beat pipe dreams. I then got Marble blaster (not MBG) for christmas when I was 8. I've been trying to get a copy of MBG, but that's nearly impossible now.

I was something like, 9? 10? I got my first Xbox account and had a fun time playing Forza 2 and some other games. I decided to look through my arcade section, and most of the games looked pretty boring. I then found an interesting game called Marble Blast Ultra . I went downstairs for dinner that night, screaming and yelling, saying "Mom! I found this really cool game called Marble Blaster Ultimate-ness! It's fun cause it's a PUZZLE GAME!" Eventually, she bought me my first copy of Marble Blast Gold. As a little kid, I liked the mods and shit, asking people like Aaryl where he got Marble Blast Fubar and stuff. I then got an IA account, and matured a lot. I haven't played since May because of Soccer, but I hope to get back into the game .

December 2004: (long story)
I had a visit from my counsins, uncles and many other people, I was on my room and my cousin showed me her new I Book (don't remember the model) and she told me about "Marble Blast Gold" and "Nanosaur" (both pre-installed), then I said "Can I play one?" and started with Marble Blast and when I heard the music I said "How....childish" and closed it, then I played the dinosaurs theme one, but I cosed after get bored flying around.
then.... Marble Blast again and I muted it =P (didn't liked the music) and played "Learning To Roll" after see the game i said "interesting", then I played it and fell off a lot, most of the time laughing because I fell off in pretty stupid ways (and because I pressed the wrong button), then my cousins, uncles and other gone and Marble Blast gone too, then I bugged my parents to buy it, but they said "spend your money in games ¬¬", then I thinked "if she send me the game I can play the game" so I asked and she send me the game, but I discovered the difference between Windows and Mac (can't play it)
when they visited me again, I said "me, play that, marble thing, you, see me, falling a lot", but the answer was You just lost the game I restored the system and I don't have it, *reaction* WHAT!?, then the time passed and I wanted that game until my dad told me about buying it for my birthday (YES!), then I saved the files.....today I atill having the files of that and my dad lost the password of his GG account.
today I still fall a lot in pretty stupid ways, but I still like the game.

Watching video game footage of Portal on YouTube (I don't have a life). Found videos of Marble Blast Gold on the same channel, thought "this looks cool."
And it was.

I found it on GameTap so I played it, Then a couple years later I bought MBG 'cause I didn't have GameTap anymore and I got really addicted.

I got into it in school a long time ago, well, because it was the only game the laptops had, so everyone seemed to like it. And I'm not discussing HOW I obtained it.
