Super Breakout on Midway Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Super Breakout from Midway Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection Vol 1playing on the Sony Playstation / PS1. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.

Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.

However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

I have played quite a bit of this over the years, but it's Arkanoid all the way for me, class game.

[SteveBenway]

@LeShark75 Same here :)

[chrisstoffer]

hmm yeah never really thought of it like that. I saw monitors and TV as the same - but moving something on the TV ... yeah mindblowing once :) Also the fact that they don't care for greater and greater grafic - it's the same :) We have something called "Text TV" here which I always hoped would make games ... same grafic as Videopac and such.

[SteveBenway]

@chrisstoffer TextTV sounds like our Teletext. I think they shut it down a couple of years ago though. It was originally done using Acorn BBC Micro Model B computers.

I always find the paddle games very difficult to play without a paddle on these game compilations on more modern systems. I tend to simply avoid playing those games on the compilations because I wind up just getting frustrated at the controls.

[SteveBenway]

@Croooow111 The time it took to record this video was about long enough to last me for some time... lol.

[SteveBenway]

@PixelOutlaw Given that the Dual Shock wasn't released when this game came out, it's not really their fault. It'd definitely be better with analogue control, but what can you do?

[SteveBenway]

@ABlackFalcon  I had to go Google "Sega mission stick" just to see what it looked like. I don't think I've ever seen one of those.

[SteveBenway]

@ArcadeMameMachine I agree, Arkanoid is definitely better, but they had quite a while to develop it.

Super Breakout was around '78 while Arkanoid was '86.

@SteveBenway *facepalm*. Thanks for the correction. :)

[SteveBenway]

@markvergeer There's definitely something magical about Atari 8 bit systems :)

[SteveBenway]

@AtsumaKarin Arkanoid is a Breakout style game :P

Though to be honest, I do prefer Arkanoid.

[SteveBenway]

@pappachook LOL :D
