Brick Smashing
Breakout created it and Arkanoid perfected it, and now
there are many, many games for fans of the brick smashing genre. These are
just a few.
Blockbuster -
Mindscape released this Breakout-inspired title for the
Commodore 64 and the Commodore Amiga.
Alleyway -
This launch title for the Game Boy gave Nintendo mascots Mario
and Luigi their very own brick smasher.
Off the Wall -
Atari Corp. offered this Oriental spin on brick smashing near the
end of the Atari 2600's commercial run. This time around the bricks in
question belong to an old Chinese wall, a neighbor to the Great Wall, rumored
to house evil spirits. A young man by the name of Kung Fu Lu has taken it upon
himself to destroy the wall.
