Krakout

Krakout (1987)

by Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd.
Genres:Arcade
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player
Story:Arkanoid-style Breakout clone, which unlike most other similar games has the bat on the side of the screen (there is a left/right option) instead of at the bottom. There are a number of types of special bricks, but unlike e.g. Arkanoid, they do not fall towards the bat. Instead, when you hit a special brick, it flips to show a letter. E.g. E (Extend bat), C (Catch ball), M (Missile), B (Bomb, explodes when hit by ball, clearing a number of bricks) and X (Extra life). The enemies/obstacles are more varied than in Arkanoid. Some make the bat freeze, some actually chew and eat your ball and spit out the core back at you!Show more

This game was so much constant fun on the Commodore 64!! I think it was PIRATED from somewhere in Europe but back then nobody really cared .... we all played pirate games because that was the nature of our community. WHOEVER DID make this game originally was VERY SMART!!!!

I still play games on c64 and amiga emulators, but I would like to see more and more old games on GOG to buy and spend hours and hours again. When I discovered GOG years ago, all my childhood memories came back.
Those games also need your vote!

Every level takes place in a new solar system.

Afterwards these weapons can be shared through e-mail. The game can be played in single-player, head-to-head, over a local network or over the internet.
