Breakout is an arcade game developed by Atari Inc. and introduced on May 13, 1976. It was conceptualized by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow, and influenced by the 1972 arcade game Pong. The game was ported to video game consoles and upgraded to video games such as Super Breakout. In addition, Breakout was the basis and inspiration for books, video games, and the Apple II personal computer.
In the game, a layer of bricks lines the top third of the screen. A ball travels across the screen, bouncing off the top and side walls of the screen. When a brick is hit, the ball bounces away and the brick is destroyed. The player loses a turn when the ball touches the bottom of the screen. To prevent this from happening, the player has a movable paddle to bounce the ball upward and back into play. (From Wikipedia)
This is my Flash version of this classic game.
Destroy as many bricks as you can. Keep going till your 3 lives are spent.
The original version of Breakout for Atari in 1976 was developed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, before they founded Apple Computer. Wozniak’s chip compact design for the game didn’t work with Atari’s manufacturing process, and so it was scrapped.
Versions of Breakout appeared as hidden Easter eggs in many versions of the Mac OS. Even today, it is included on most iPods.
You control the whole game with the movement of your Mouse.
Use the paddle to prevent the ball from hitting the ground while you break all of the blocks.
