A poor man's Breakout game, Pirate Software released a lot of tripe and this is no exception! There are certainly a lot of better Breakout games on the ZX Spectrum than this.

What a heap of shit!

It's actually not that badly programmed, but the gameplay style needs to be accentuated by naked girls in the background, that's just how kind of shit it is.

It's Pirate Software as well, but at least this isn't written by Harry price, it's at least an original game.

Well original code anyway, original game is more than stretching that definition.

Yep it's crap, but I almost wish it wasn't.

Even if you lived in a box, which would be totally unrealistic by 1987's standards, and you'd paid the £1.99 they charged for this it's apparent you'd be completely deluding yourself that you were enjoying this piece of shit. But I assume in this day and age nobody is that much of a spaz?

This has to be one of the most unplayable Breakout games ever. Don't even bother trying to play on slow because your bat is very slow and it's impossible to play. But even on fast you have to cope with the ball going through the bat instead of rebounding of it like it should. Bricks disappear willing as the ball goes near them, though the goal is not actually to clear them all but rather to hit one specific brick that will complete the level and move on to the next one which is fine with me otherwise level 1 would be impossible to finish. But it's an appalling Breakout clone, one of the very worst in fact.
