I've had a nostalgia trip ... at my primary school we had a couple of acorn computers. one of the games on them was a marble madness style game that involved guiding a ball through a maze built of different colour platforms. each platform affected the ball differently, according to it's colour (some would make the ball bounce, some would speed it up, and the most annoying one by my recolection was the purple one, which reversed the controls!!)

just hoping someone might possibly remember this, because i REALLY want to download it!!

I've done a bit of research, and acorn's OS was based on riscOS, I've looked through several lists of games but nothing seems to ring any bells!
