Both games on this Multi-Mode cartridge are descendants of Atari's classic Breakout. In each, the object is to eliminate four rows of colored blocks within 90 seconds by hitting a ball against a paddle. In Blockout!, one player controls the paddle while another player (or the computer) controls four "demons" that reside in the blocks and can rebuild them as they are destroyed. In Breakdown!, the ball slices through the blocks, and the object is to have the fewest blocks remaining. Blockout! is a refreshingly innovative game in its genre; Breakdown!, unfortunately, is less satisfying.
