I just finished the last race in Marble Madness and I'd really
appreciate someone telling me where the "secret" screen is, or telling
me that it's just a rumor and there isn't one.
Please send me SPOILERS!

Well, my brother has the Commodore 64 version of Marble Madness, and I finally
got to the secret board. It is accessible from the very first screen. Now,
I went to a friend's house and tried to get to the secret board on the Amiga,
but no go. The Amiga version's screen isn't as wide as the64 version, so I
couldn't even get to the correct spot.
Now, my friend says (and I believe) that the Amiga version doesn't have the
secret board. There are a couple reasons:
1) Fact: there are two versions of the game, one which runs on the
Amiga, and the other which runs on other machines.
2) Fact: two different programmers wrote the two different versions.
Therefore, the two versions are probably (and in reality are)
rather different from each other.
3) Rumor: my friend says that the Amiga version was a port from the
original Atari arcade machine (because both worked on 68000
systems). I believe this, because the Amiga version doesn't
use the entire width of the screen, and because EVERYTHING
is so similar.
Soooooooo, I think that there is probably no secret board on the Amiga.
Siiiiiiggghhhh. Oh well, C'est la vie.
