Famous arcade game, in the vein of Breakout, but with a loose plot, and all kinds of added powerups to make clearing the blocks easier, such as lasers and tripling the amount of balls on screen.

The home conversions were very successful at retail. This MSX version is very close to the Spectrum port.
