- It's up to version 3.3, so it must have been around for a while, but I've
- never heard of this game. You're a marble, and you're gliding along, and
- you have to match the patterns without getting fried or dropped or flattened
- or running out of time or...
-
- I couldn't do it justice in a description.
-
- It is now available by anonymous ftp from mac.archive.umich.edu (of course!).
- I'm going to let its index entry speak for itself, but if you play games on
- the Mac and you don't at least LOOK at this one, you're doing yourself a
- disservice.

- Really good, really original games are few and far between, but
- this one is both. You are a marble and, well, it's hard to
- describe what you have to do. Suffice it to say, however, that
- {the feel and the animation are both excellent, you can play in
- color or in black and white, singly or with another person on a
- network. Incorporates elements of problem solving and dexterity.
- Wonderful!
