Eons ago, in an arcade far, far away, there was a game called Breakout. This was one of the very first arcade games ever to be seen in this country, and its exciting concept of using a bat and ball to demolish a wall of bricks made it a hit with the jaded Space Invaders crowd.

Unfortunately, this variant does not have much more to offer than the original. Bonus screens are available, as are screens in which the walls advance upon you! Mario himself is your guide through this game, only leaving you once all your lives are game.

Bleugh! I was not exactly bowled over by this! There's no variety at all, and once you've finished a couple of screens, you'll be bored stiff.

What a bore. Screen after screen of boring bricks to knock away, and hardly any variety. If this had a couple of power-ups, it might be okay. As it stands it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.

If you're having trouble getting to sleep play this - it's more powerful than any sleeping tablet!
