Super Breakout

Arkanoid, Addictaball and Impact have all contributed towards the revival of the bat and ball formula. Now that revival is complete with the re-release of Super Breakout, the Granddaddy of them all.

Unfortunately it lacks the sophistication of the newer titles, and only has four different screens. The absence of extra weapons and features is also an annoying point, and it takes very little time, for the action to become repetitive and tiresome.

Either avoid it, or give one of the new breed a shot.
