This thread has been linked to the game 'Archer Maclean's Mercury'.
Marble Madness meets Super Monkey Ball, with bells on.
Some levels are an out-and-out race; some levels require great care and concentration; some levels require tasks to be performed; but all are against the clock, and the 'boss' levels are a mix of all three styles.
72 levels in total, plus multi-player.
A simple concept, beautifully executed.
Frustrating and rewarding in equal measure, and as addictive as hell.
Better, in my humble opinion, than Lumines.

I nearly purchased this the other day after seeing you were buying it, I just looked into it and I liked the concept.
But then I thought of other expenses I have recently and turned myself off it...
It does indeed look quite good to play, a great handheld concept I think.
Saw it on £20 and 1 quid postage on ebay buy it now but I didn't buy it.

I´m sure my brother has something in his wargaming stuff... :-)
Has anyone here played Fired Up yet? I´ll be getting Wipeout Pure on Saturday so I can have a go at the demo...

Obviously a bit too difficult for you, then. ;-)
Mercury is crap. Nothing to get excited over, or play for more than an hour... in total.
Hahahaha...

Been toying with this as my next choice of game. Haven´t got Lumines yet though, so it´s a toss up between Fired Up, Lumines and this...
I do.
I don't go there because it winds me up too much.
Besides, we all know Arsenal are the greatest team in the world, so why bother arguing the point? :-)

Completely unrelated - don't you like Arsenal anymore?
Why don't you post in the sports forum?
