Play Ball Race Online

Tiny ball, tight maze—what starts as a chill roll turns into white-knuckled dodging as walls close in. Two-player mode turns it into a shouting match over who can barely scrape through corners faster.

Game Overview

Ball Race is one of those MS-DOS games that somehow makes controlling a tiny ball through mazes feel like the most intense race of your life. The first time I played, I thought it'd be simple—just roll around, right? Nope. Those sharp turns and sudden obstacles turn it into a frantic scramble where every second counts.

The two-player mode is where it really shines, especially if you've got a competitive friend. You'll both be leaning into the keyboard, yelling when someone barely scrapes past a wall or wipes out at the last second. The graphics are obviously dated now, but there's something satisfying about the way the ball moves—it's weighty, almost like you can feel the momentum.

If you ever spent hours trying to beat your own high score in Marble Madness, this is the same kind of itch. No frills, no tutorials, just pure speed and reflexes. I still fire it up sometimes when I want something quick and punishingly fun.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
