A Game of Marbles combines the school yard game of marbles with 3D computer gaming technology. Players battle against their opponents by flicking marbles which represent their on-screen characters around the ring. It’s a 3D shoot-em up game taken to another level… to another game… to a game of marbles.

The concept – to use a simple old game to control a new computer game. Is it the blood and guts that engages the player? Is it the idea? Are marbles as satisfying as the blood and guts or are people happy with marbles? It is an old game that gives lots of satisfaction. Rolling marbles is a simple idea – there is no plot and no graphics. Is it necessary to have all this other stuff?
