Color TV Game Block Breaker is the fourth of five releases in the Color TV series. The Color TV series was a home system bundled in a controller with pre-installed software. Color TV Game Racing 112 is Nintendo's take on Atari's popular arcade game BreakOut. Using the dial on the system, you have to control the paddle on screen to bounce a ball around to break all of the blocks.As with the other Color TV Game systems, you can use the switches to play a number of variations, each with its own rules. Block Out; the basic game. Break all of the blocks on the screen. Each band of coloured blocks scores a different number of points. Block Easy; the same as Block Out, only the fourth row of blocks down has been removed. Block Save; the same as Block Out, only a row of blocks appears below the paddle, helping you if you drop the ball. You don't have to break these save blocks to beat the stage. Block Through; the rows are spaced out, and the ball doesn't stop when it hits a block. The aim is to clear the blocks in the fastest time. Block Lighter; the aim is to clear the four flashing blocks at the top of the screen, breaking as few of the other blocks as you can for a higher score. Block Killer; the same as Block Lighter, only the four blinking blocks are in the center of a large block formation. Break as few non-flashing blocks as you can for a high score. Nintendo also released Block Fever in the arcades, and Alleyway for the Game Boy, which spiritually are all in the same series. |
