I have Marble Madness installed on my HD and it kind-of works fine.  I
believe that some old version of Maurauder II claimed it would
'deprotect' some games, MM included and I guess they did.  My original
is squirreled away and not long ago I took my MII-made copy of the disk
and simple did a
    copy df0: dh0:games/marblemadness all 
and after ignoring the error that gets reported [there is some file on
the disk that generated an error when I did the copy], I just clicked
on the Marble Icon and it worked!  No assigns, no nothing.

On the other hand, I say "almost": the game gets sick after you play a
while.  There are various death-symptoms [screen just locks up.  Or it
stops displaying the marble [you know it is still there, because you
can hear the sound effects if you run it, blind, off of an edge].
