Alternate names for brick breakers

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I go search it and all they come up with is tetris. But on the blackberry, there is a game called brick breakers. Its where you've got the ball and it bounces off the thing and you try to hit the blocks and such, know what I'm talking about?

looks like this

    No.
    Pong has no bricks to break, its one ball and two moving things.

    Not here i don't think...

    we (or i, excuse drunkenness) tend to call pong any game where there is one paddle think and one (or more) ball(s) and you have to get rid of all the bricks...

    It's called Arkanoid! And I fucking LOVE IT! Have some Pics of two of the original Commodore games, and the story!

    Drunk is fun :thumb:
    I just assumed pong in the atari version. I forgot the other meanings of the word :p I hate how games have different names :p

    Thanks too, the awordgame seems to be it.

    I'm looking for it to put on my phone to be honest :p

    Phone Arkanoid would rock.
    I am just trying to find the site I got the commodore game off of for my emulator ;( Wonder if I could install a commodore on my old Nokia 3330? Or even my T610? Hmm.

    Oh cool bums!
    Hes just sitting there playing the game, I'm so jelous. I tried to search for it on my phone but shiT-mobile suckeys.

    I just found a website that has that and mario and tetris and lemmings and all this other stuff, and I can learn german or something at the same time :p
    And something called waffle boy, fun. Under the "avontuur" catagory :p

    Lol! Erm, download Arkanoid off that website, and then get something called "Winvice" to play it (Y) Its very fun. I might do so, but im looking through all the games for one I remember! :D

    Edit: Look! A cheap ripoff called Pulsoid.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Do I need the winvice thing to play cuz they keep downloading as zip files or whatever and i'm confused.

    Winvice
    Erm, unzip the files... extract them to somewhere (I think you right click - "extract here" with just the windows thing.) Run c64.exe, then click file, autostart disk/tape image. Then select the extracted arkanoid file. It'll take a year to load, then press space, instructions appear, press esc to go past. It's a cracked one, so you can chose trainer options. :D y for yes, n for no. Enter for the level chose. Then chose keyboard, left shift and right shift and space are the controls.

    It has ace music too.

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Would also be found under "breakout" and "super breakout" on the Atari VCS 2600. nice.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    superb game, fucking gash on a phone though, need something better than a crappy digital interface.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
