Obtaining The Full Version Of Marble Blast Gold

by Kirwan · in Marble Blast · 07/27/2015 (4:10 pm) · 5 replies

Hey there,

I'm an old fan of Marble Blast Gold and never got the chance to purchase the game before it was removed from GarageGames. I've been looking for a copy for several years and haven't found anything legal (aside from the downloads from www.marbleblast.com, are these legal/official/authorized?).

I'm wondering if it's possible to obtain the full version legally these days if one didn't purchase the game before it was removed?

Doesn't appear to be sold anymore and hasn't for a long time now. Looks like you can download it from redacted and according to wikipedia it is the legitimate official marble blast website. Moderator Note - This is not true and should be considered Wikipedia vandalism.

I've seen that before on the Wikipedia and that's interesting, since apparently the rights to the Marble Blast Franchise seem to be held by IAC.

@Tron - Apologies, but I had to edit your post =(

Your first link goes to what is considered a pirated version. The moderator note I added was just a way for me to not fully butcher your original post. The site is operating outside of US copyright and IP laws, so I had to scrub it from our forum for liability reasons.

@Kirwan - IAC owns the game in full. As far as I know, there is no legitimate way of acquiring the game unless you contact someone at IAC and ask for it. I have no clue who or how, sorry =/

Hey Michael, thanks for replying.

I suspected that the site wasn't official, but that's a shame how it's pretty much impossible to obtain a copy these days - Thanks very much for your time.

I have sent an Email to IAC, asking about how Myself/Others can obtain the game (if possible) and reporting the site (and Wikipedia vandalism) to them. I'll post to this thread if I get a reply.
