Hello folks! I was wondering if anyone knew anything about an oldie but goodie: Marble Madness... It seems that newer versions of the game have a "secret level" hinted at on the package.. I never did find it, and I never found it in any one of the hint columns/sheets/files either..... Any ideas? thanks rodan@wpi.edu

There is no "secret" level in the Amiga version of Marble Madness (only the C-64 version), but there is a little known "quirk" that will let you play forever. I've known about this since the game was first released, but through the years I've found thamost NOBODY knows about it! So maybe this will be news to most people. Anyway, play to the upsidedown (or backwards or whatever) level that has the little playpen of baby monsters in the middle of the level. Enter the playpen and kill (roll over) all the baby monsters. Then, instead of continuing up the screen, GO BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMPS (the starting position). When you roll back up to the playpen again, ALL THE BABY MONSTERS WILL BE ALIVE AGAIN! You can the roll over them all over again, which gives you extra time. Keep doing th over and over, and your time will reach 99 and just sit there. If you have enough patience to do this for half an hour or so, the timer will reach 99 an take a good 20 minutes to ever start counting down again! It is then quite simple to win the game. Enjoy...
