![]() ![]() The first could be happily played for 5 minutes, or 5 hours (usually the latter) and never got boring. Neil – Oh my, what a game Peggle is, and I can agree wholeheartedly with James when he says he’s excited for Peggle 2. If there’s one last retro purchase to be made it is this one, go on, do it – Peggle (still holding its value at £6.75). It consumed time but I would happily play it all over again right now and fortunately Peggle 2 is in the pipeline. Then in super slow-mo you would be in agony as your ball floats past like a rebel.Īs well as Adventure mode which invited the player to use the various special powers, there were challenges that seemed endless. Each level was designed to look fresh and later on a few obstacles would mean skill shots were the only way to reach that last peg. It is arguably the only game that has become a family favourite in my house, with even people who once entertained themselves using a wooden yo-yo. James – One of my earliest purchases was Peggle, an addictive puzzle game that had me shooting balls all over the place to hit the pegs until they were all gone. It’s just a shame that a petty rights issue forced it off the Xbox Games Store a few years back. Oh, and it was also the first game that made me notice achievements, even though I never did manage to smash the par times in the advanced levels! ![]() But I didn’t play it for the multiplayer, I played it to challenge myself with bettering my level times over and over again. Multiplayer was okay at best, but was a little lacking and wouldn’t stand up to the online stuff of today. It was just ‘right’ and had a decent enough number of levels to keep me interested. None of the levels were too easy, and none had me pulling my hair out in frustration. It handled well, looked beautiful (for the time anyway), and had a learning curve that was just about right for me. I remember fondly the days of Marble Madness and I guess the whole marble vibe was the deal sealer for me with Ultra. It wasn’t the first arcade game I bought (I think that honour goes to Bejeweled 2), but it was the first one to grab me in a way no other game had done before it. Neil – So first up, I’ve got to mention Marble Blast Ultra. ![]()
