What was that game's name?

Well... You are controlling a flat surface and there's a ball that bounces off that surface in order to break bricks in the wall above and then returns to be hit again by the flat surface and so on and there are multiple levels. It's something like wall breaker/wall buster, but I couldn't find it on google.

In fact, ure right smile doing a research i found that arkanoid was the atari version. Breakout was an arcade version (those old fliperama machines).

What's that game with that yellow smiley guy who constantly eats xtc while being chased by ghosts. After a while, he eats some really big pill and is so stoned he eats up the ghosts!

Re: What was that game's name?

Almost as addictive as that game where an Italian porn star jumps on turtles a lot, or that game where people beat the crap out of each other, or that other game where you have to drive really really fast

Re: What was that game's name?

Here's a great ripoff of Arkanoid I rented a couple times back in the early 90s... Well, it's great if you're 8 years old and never played the original. big_smile
