Finally a game where you could score more than 21 points. Breakout.The
object was to break through a wall of bricks. The blip got faster and
faster. and your score got higher and higher. I think the first versions
used colored strips on the CRT screen to simulate color in the game. Later
they actually made the lines in color. Then it evolved into a 4 player
battle called warlords. In your corner there was a castle and in the castle
was your king. You had a little paddle in front of the castle that could
deflect the blip on it's way. If it hit your castle a brick was knocked
out. If most of the bricks were gone it was possible for your king to
get hit which ended your game. The basic breakout game was revamped a
few years later in a game called arkanoid.
