Old Classic Retro Gaming | Atari 2600 Game: Breakout (Aka Breakaway IV) 1978 (Atari) @oldclassicgame | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
This early Breakout game has 2 rows of bricks and two rows of different colors. You get 3 tries or 5 tries (through dipswitch setting) by knocking down as many bricks down as possible by deflecting or rebounding against the wall of the sledge hammer. Points are 1 point for yellow, 3 for the green, 7 for red. To make the game more challenging, the speed of the game increases after 4 hits and again at 12 hits and to the highest speeds in orange and red rows. The hammer decreases by half the size when the red row is broken through.

A racing game where your goal is to move your vehicle in a maze so you can shoot missiles at your opponent without getting shot at.
The games features four different mazes to choose from, and some levels are at faster or slower speeds. Another feature lets you decide to make the missiles faster or slower than the car, or in some variants the missile would be stopped when it hit any walls. The difficulty switch determines whether you can shoot a missile while one of your own is still on the screen. Otherwise, your missile has to hit the enemy or be retrieved by your vehicle before you can launch another one.
You steer your car with a joystick. Each time you hit your enemy with a missile, you get a point. The first player to get 25 points is the winner.")
