The Original Brick Breaker

Okay so being 19 I grew up with the iMac's in elementary school (1995-2000 ish). You know, the ones with the goofy handle on top and came in many colors and the ones prior I believe.

Anyway, I remember in first through sixth grade playing a truly amazing brick breaker game. I believe it was part of the OS (not sure which one, as I really didn't care at 8 years old).

So basically, 11 years later and having paid for my first MacBook Pro, I was wondering, what was the name of that game and is there a download of it somewhere and what OS did it come on?

Thanks!




TL;DR Original Brick Breaker. How can I get it?

Probably, but at that age, I probably didn't even realize there was much of a difference at all between computers.

I was mostly noting that as it may help in searching for the game. I had come across a potential one hit, but the site was blocked by my work firewall so I couldn't check it out.

Thanks, That is what I've been using now to try and find my lost childhood game.

I found Brick Break. Does that look close? Is this a Breakout kind of game? With the time period from when you played it I also realized that the eMac would have been running OS 7/8/maybe 9. So if you do find the game, there's no certainty it will work on OSX. The game linked above works on OS9/X.

I also came across this arcade classic game page for Mac. It has a few older games like MacBrickout, which ran on OS7.

It was a lot like Breakout. However, I don't remember it being as colorful. I believe it had colors, but they were more subtle; not solid lines. If I remember correctly, the color was made from small dots on the bricks. Not a solid color.

I appreciate all the knowledge you've shared, it certainly will help with my adventures into the deep interwebz for my search.


EDIT: If it doesn't work on OS X, it may be worth buying an old eMac so I can play it and the original Oregon Trail. Hell ya!
