Marble Blast Online

#1 I have not heard of any plans for MBO. I loved it as well.

#2 Marble rolling games have been around for ages... I think the first one I played was on the Amiga, and I've seen many derivatives since. So surely there is an alternative for those who need their marble fix.

#3 Well, I meant an online alternative. If I wanted an offline alternative, I'd probably find a copy of MB for iPad.

Hopefully one of you guys will bring it back.

#4 I think they won't do anything official soon, they are going to focus on the engines now. But I'd like to have it back too.

#5 I'd pay $30 for it if they re-released it.

#6 I'd pay 30€ if it was also integrated in Steam, with lots of updates going on and new features.

So wait, who the hell has the rights then? Why don't the owners make a new version?

#8 As the article said:

Quote:Rights to its games are still property of InstantAction Holdings

IAC holds all the rights to anything IA, with the exception of what GarageGames, LLC acquired and a few other games the original developers negotiated (Lore, Ace of Aces, etc).

#9 I don't think this is legal. I paid $10 for the game originally, and now I'm being told I can no longer pay it. I paid for the license, yet, but there was no definitive date on which the license could be stripped away from me.

#10 I would recommend reading through the XBLA policies on games that are removed from the store. You can contact Microsoft for more information on your rights as a digital consumer using their service.

#11 they should bring instantaction.com back up

#12 Not gonna happen.

#13 and i wanted to play mbo and when i go to do it the site is down


i do wounder if a standalone version from this site will be made in place of the site being down

#14 Also not gonna happen. IAC owns the Marble Blast IP.
