Breakout 2000 - Atari Jaguar

Breakout 2000 for the Atari Jaguar is based on the old game Breakout that we all know and love.
It's been enhanced into more of a 3D-ish mode, which is pretty cool.
The Breakout Classic mode that is included is lacking, in my opinion, but that's ok, since I really just want to play 2000.
Telegames (I believe) released this as well as a few others to gauge interest and viability in more Jaguar games that they either had finished or close-to, however, the response was not enough for Telegames to continue production on the other unreleased games :-(

Does the perspective ever change? It looks like a huge pain in the ass like that.

No, but it's really not bad at all.

I tried to make a 3D breakout game for the iOS app store. According to Atari, I breached their copyrights. :( It was an awesome game but you can't have it after this.

Reminds me of all those "alawar" variations on the arkanoid/breakout concept... hyperball, magicball, aquaball, roboball, strikeball, ..... there were like a dozen of them.

I think the SNES version had the best control scheme for a console gamepad: if you pressed one of the top L / R buttons, the board would move twice faster, and both at the same time, 4 times faster. (still doesn't beat using a mouse, though)

The top half of the screen is used in two player mode

This looks cool--Do the board layouts ever change though?

I'm currently seeking this game for my expanding Jaguar collection… it's nice that Telegames picked this up and released it… looking forward to playing this when I realize it!

they managed to make 70% of the screen useless

Great game, I helped testing on it. VERY fun in two player mode - one player is on top, one is on bottom. When you get the ball to the back, it rolls either to the top or bottom of the screen. I keep telling Mario to port this to the iPhone or WiiWare!

What's the song from the breakout for the ps1... Isn't it like van halen or something
