Breakout

[atonal]

Looking for game of the same name(=Breakout), it was sold with a rather weak top view car racer in bundle i remember(not on the same disk ).
possibly i was only sold in germany...

its oviously an arkanoid/breakout clone, very very good one indeed, and was not of major softwarehouse if i rember right -that would explain why they had no fears using the name "Breakout" directly.

edit:- it might have been named "Break-Out" as well, hmm ...
but either one of those 2 alternatives for sure

my copy broke some years ago so an adf is needed for that

with Hall Of Fame you can look for game-types like this search for Breakout type games.
maybe you find it this way.

ah this is a great search engine thx!
very useful for sure but for this task didnt have it.

I actually found Arkanoid not very exciting because i always favoured the thing i am looking for- such great gameplay

so if anyone has it
would make me happy

So it should be some Public Domain game. Try Crack [ Show youtube player ] or Paranoid [ Show youtube player ]

[atonal]

no its really called "Breakout" or "Break-Out" no doubt about that.
and it was "not too PD" if you can say that. i remeber my friend bought it in a store with boxed packaging and everything along with that top view car racer two games in the box

Exotica website got a lot of amiga box art scans.
amiga game cover - another website with covers.

You could try to find the racing game:

and then perhaps you might find the associated breakout game.


Or try to track some of the games titled Breakout in this list:

although those seem to be essentially freeware/shareware so it might not refer to the game you are looking for

I think the Breakout clone you're trying to remember might have been called Bouncer, which was released by a German publisher (Diamond Games).

Bouncer was also released by the same publisher in a compilation named Arcade Classics, which also included a top-down racer called Brands Hatch.

Does either game bring back any familiar memories for you?

If not, then how about another game by the same publisher, Break?

so the name of the car game i dont have as a clue
and the name of the breakout clone is really simply "Breakout" or "Break-Out" not found yet
