Decent Breakout without Paddles?

[Steve Mynott]

Is there a decent Breakout game which doesn't use paddles?

 

I'm aware of Super Breakout which looks really good but only have joystick. Alternatively is there a hacked version to use joysticks?

 

Or is it just a case of plugging a pot into the joystick ports as a "Poor Man's Paddle?

PADDLES are readily available. Ebay has them all the time. Best and B&C. You can get brand new ones at AtGames which sells them for the Flashback units, but work for the 800/XL/XE, whatever. If you do get some old ones and they are jumpy, no problem there is a technique to clean them to almost as good as new or you can replace the Potentiometers. YouTube has the vids on how to do it using great Radio Shack 1 MegaOhm Pots, readily available locally. Or you can by Best's "Superpots" for about $6.50 each. Even Shopgoodwill.com has Paddle controllers for sale.

If you use the "Advanced Search" over at Atarimania, you can pull up games by "Genre".

 

Breakout / Pong / Circus

"Off the Wall" is decent, and use joystick.

I don't think it works with joysticks though.

No, but with a mouse. Doesn't it count?

Sure it does. But as it often happens, the OP might not have stated so clearly in the topic title that his intentions, as suggested by his initial post, were most likely to find games that work with a joystick. Although I could be entirely wrong about that.
