no. i am not doing this to release marble madness.exe. if i wanted to play marble madness, i would open my emulator. i want to know how it works internally, how the development process worked, and any artifacts left behind in the process.

This is a project I really need to get back to and finish up... it's been in Beta for like two years now.

Two of MIT-MC.ARPA’s 256KW MH10 memory cabinets will be used to provide the KI10 with half a megaword. MC’s hardware is littered with notes by MOON.
