Does any one remember the game, where you have to bounce a ball by moving a slider across the screen. And the object is to break all the blocks with the ball.
If you remember i'm trying to track it down.
thanks.

Arkanoid I think is what it's called.

There are a tonne of clones out there though. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

 

if anyone ever finds a good one, let me know.

Had one decent one at one point....50 levels then you played all the levels upside down, but it really was no match for me!

 

there are TONS of games like that, but i dont know the names of any lol.

 

arkanoid was the original one found in the arcades and restaurants, i remember the old skool machines that were table top with the rotating **** control, not upright. i loved that game!

 

Hold on there...Arkanoid is by NO MEANS the original. It was released in 1986 by Taito. Pretty much when the whole arcade game scene was collapsing.
Breakout would probably be closer to the original...released by Atari in 1976.
Oh the horror!

Here's a good link for anyone lookin' for the names of old games, history etc...

Breakout rings a bell.... But ive never found a good one to download.

 

*Ahem*...I've been slammed for this before here, but I'm a big boy and I can take it...
Ever hear of MAME? Superbreakout is emulated on MAME. The original isn't available for reasons too boring to go into.

If you're interested go here...
