Roll. Roll until you reach the end. Avoid everything that wants to see you ground to dust.

Good luck, you'll need it.

@wario356 Black is white, up is down, and short is long.

This reminds me of a 3D game on PC called HamsterBall. This is very simular.

devonjames10: "simular"?

Haha i remember playing this game at Chuck E cheese when I was 6. I hated this game because my tiny hands would get pinched on those trackballs and it hurt so much! >.<

Is that where they got the graphic design in Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2 from?

I first played this on an arcade machine at Manchester Airport in what must have been about 1984 or 5. I was very young but the experience stuck with me - I was too young to appreciate the gameplay but kept playing for the rich atmosphere, especially of the music on level 2. It was a long, long way ahead of its time.

Ahh, I had this confused with Crystal Castle...

Problem is with this game, it would take you 35 sec just to get off the opening platform.  It had no mercy

wow arcade version added more black balls to raise difficulty

Trackball controls...difficult indeed, but you played on Easy. On Expert, you'd only have 30 seconds to beat Practice Race.

If you're wondering, yeah, mercury comes from here :)

@hobiehippo I totally agree. This game was so frustrating trying to control that damned marble.
