Playing for score!

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.
