If you remember those great classics such as Arkanoid or even Breakout you might be in for a treat! As we've recently been contacted by Saberman, that the Polish Amiga Floppy Preservation Group has preserved and provided the Arkanoid clone of 'Double Ball': A Public Domain game that was originally developed by Blue Data, coded by Andrzej Radecki (Mr. Gary / Blue Data), and first appeared via the public domain archive in 1992. To coincide with this news, Saberman has also provided some gameplay footage! Although do be aware the music is far from enjoyable ;)
So what's the gameplay like? Well to be honest if you've ever played Breakout or Arkanoid, then you already know what to expect. If you haven't however, basically all you need to do is bounce the ball into the bricks enough times to clear them from the screen to move on to the next level. The game features 40 levels in total of which the first 10 have added life bonuses.
Always cool to hear about interesting old freeware. I wonder about the stpry behind making this game.
ReplyDeleteLooks very AMOS :) The music is pretty good, I'm guessing the comment was either tongue in cheek or someone's not a fan of period correct 1993 Techno? :D
