A fascinating game that you will come back to time and time again. Read Review

Severely lacking in addictive qualities - the layout of the screens is unimaginative and boredom soon sets in. Read Review

The graphics are all right, the sound isn't too bad and the options on bat and ball speed are a nice touch - but they don't help the overall feel. Read Review

Excellent Breakout-style game. Read Review

Nice version of a ridiculously old game. Definitely in second after Arkanoid but if you can handle the odd angle, it's better. Read Review

If Krakout were the only game of this type on the market, I'm sure the flags and bunting would now be out. But it's second and very much second best after Arkanoid. Read Review

Your Sinclair

1st February 1989

The graphics are a little basic, but it's eminently playable, and if you want some more bricks to batter, you could do far worse. Read Review

The graphics are very bright, you can vary the speed of the game and there are 100 screens worth of assorted bricks to batter, but in the final analysis it lacks an enduring addictive quality. Read Review
