Addictive gameplay is what this game is all about. Super Breakout for the Game Boy Color has no pretensions. Just you, the bat, the ball and the wall.

Features include bats on two levels - where if you miss with the top one the bottom ones should pick up the ball - and more complicated block formations than just the standard wall. Then there's the inclusion of extra balls within the blocks which when free can be used simultaneously with your original ball, if you can keep them going!

Breakout-style games were always fun and particularly good on any videogame format with a mouse as it gave you excellent control over the bat. Obviously the Game Boy Color doesn't have a mouse, but the bat speed can be changed by holding down the A button to make it go faster if you suddenly need your bat to be on the other side of the screen.

Like Centipede, also by Take 2, Super Breakout is a joy to play although it may not delight those who like their gaming to have a bit of depth. If you're after an arcade experience from 'the old days' though, then look no further.
