It is interesting that you still games like this. Everyone I knew had this game. It was good when you wanted something familiar or play with friends.

This is a pretty good version of Super Breakout. Graphics are slightly improved over the 2600 version, but this isn't really a graphics-heavy game, is it? It's just Atari's legacy in the 70s (alongside Pong). Interesting how games like Breakout and Arkanoid continue to be popular today.
