Summary

Super Breakout is an arcade game released by Atari in 1978. It utilizes a Motorola M6502 (running up at 375 KHz) and, as the name suggests, is the sequel to Breakout, which was released two years earlier. There are three different modes to choose from: Double Breakout, the playfield for which contains in fifty-two orange blocks (5-14 points), fifty-two green blocks (1-6 points), two paddles and two balls, Cavity Breakout, which contains in forty-four orange blocks (7-21 points), and fifty-two green blocks (1-9 points), one paddle, and three balls (the second and third of which have to be freed before they come into play) and Progressive Breakout which contains fifty-two blue blocks (7 points) and fifty-two green blocks (5 points), one paddle, and one ball - and the blocks shall be lowered down towards the paddle, at a rate determined by the number of times the ball lands on your paddle, but as the ball destroys them, additional rows of blocks shall appear at the top of the screen and be lowered down towards the paddle at an increasing rate. This is also the only mode for which it's possible for a player to receive an infinite amount of points by playing, but the score display shall roll over at 10000.

Dark souls is less rage inducing than this.

Super Breakout is the sequel to the original arcade hit from Atari. It features many of the same beats as the original, save the addition of some extra game modes. The game has the same sort of appeal as the original, and while in modern times offers very little difference to the original, is interesting for the inclusion of multiple modes in one arcade ROM. Interesting from a historical standpoint, and offers similar fun to the original gamez without adding anything too new. Solid 8/10 for being a fun classic. Beaten on the Atari 50 collection.

Spent way too long trying to beat the high score, but I persevered and got there. Addictive, and satisfying physics.
