I think a lot of people might think of this one, when they think of the genre, though this released in 1986, well after Clean Sweep and Breakout (74 and 76).

The best of the classic brick breaker games, as far as I'm aware. I think a lot of people might think of this one, when they think of the genre, though this released in 1986, well after Clean Sweep and Breakout (74 and 76). What makes this one interesting are all the power-ups. Sometimes you get multiple balls to bounce about the stage, sometimes the ball will stick to your paddle (allowing you to aim your next volley), and sometimes you even get the ability to shoot at the bricks. Definitely makes things more exciting. The levels also change the layout of all the bricks, giving some variety that way too.
The best way to play this is with the dial knob you twist at an arcade machine. I love how it feels -- the weight of it, its sturdy metal build, that heft. Way better than just moving left and right with a controller joystick.
