[lucifershalo]

I decided to play some SUPER BREAKOUT again

and it is still fun, the different sounds, good stuff

are there other breakout games ? official or homebrew ones?

I know of the STarpath one but except for that...any idea?

Off the Wall is pretty good but could be better if you could use paddles with it.

There was an old Breakout type game that came installed with some of the early Macintosh computers at my junior high school called Brickle. The computer didn't have a color screen, so it was about as fun as class got "old school" style. (I think it was either Mac II or one of the Power Macs)

 

I still like Macs. I should buy one.

Arkanoid???

 

 

I just bought Video Olympics for the 2600, and I is Pong on Meth. Sooo many variations. Too bad noone wanted to play with me...

Bachelor Party & Bachelorette Party (same game, different sprites) also use a Breakout theme...tho sprites are used for everything.

My friend's kid likes Breakout and said "it's like 4 player breakout" when he first played Medieval Mayhem.

Played Fireball on a modded X-Box and i really liked it.Makes want to get a Super-Charger for the old 2600.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Reflex.

 

Then again, I'm also surprised it's not on a cart yet.

It's fun to fire up Super Breakout every now and then (especially on the Atari 800 with eight players!), but Breakout-style games tend to bore me pretty quickly these days unless they can offer a little something extra, like Arkanoid-style powerups. Breakout 2000 on the Jaguar was a good attempt, but it was a little slow-paced and not nearly as much fun as it could have been with a real paddle controller.

Nope, not Arkanoid, Brickles:

Althought this seems to be the newest version for Mac OS X

If you like Breakout - check out the book "Pilgrim in the Microworld". Maybe this is something everyone's already read, but I just read it a couple years back and thought it was very cool. It was written in the early '80s, and it's about a guy who's obsessed with Breakout on the 2600.

I always enjoyed playing Super Breakout on my 2600 back in the day. When the 5200 was released, I was a bit disappointed with 5200 SB. The 5200 sticks were a VERY poor substitute for paddles. Today, a modified 5200 stick/paddle controller helps a lot, but it's still not as good as the ol' 2600 version. You gotta love those wacky sounds on the 2600 version!

I've always felt dissapointed with super breakout. I think breakout is a more challenging game.
