Gyroball

May 19th, 2007 | Category: Games

As you might know, the longest and most savage feud in the Canadian blogosphere is between me and Bruce Gottfred (or, as I refer to him, spit Gottfred! spit) of Autonomous Source for traffic bragging rights. As with university politics, the essential worthlessness of the prize makes the fight all the more vicious.

spit Gottfred! spit has certain unfair advantages; namely, two cute kids whose pictures he posts at every opportunity. As I have no kids, cute or otherwise, this is unfair.

Anyway, I think I’ve got him beat on this one. Click on over to his site and look at the right sidebar. You’ll see that he’s installed a Marble Madness-type game. But do not attempt to play it. I’ve tried every key combination I can think of, and I can’t get the ball to move. So come back here and click on the play button above. Behold, a working copy of Marble Madness (or something like it.)

Use the arrow keys to steer (to the golden square). There’s no sound, but as I’m unable to get past the first level, I can’t guarantee anything after that.

I said that the game works. Me, not so much.

I had to shrink the game somewhat to fit my format. If you’d like to play the larger version, go here.

Eh. Wordpress stripped out the embed code. So click on the link immediately above.
