Game Summary
Move the paddle and destroy the bricks.
Hardware Platform: -Unique or Unknown-
Game Details
An extension of the Pong theme, Breakout was created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who would go on to start Apple Computer.
The object of the game is to destroy the bricks at the top of the screen by hitting the ball into them. The ball is kept in motion by moving the paddle at the bottom of the screen. When a row of bricks was completed another, would replace it.
The game was black and white, but the bricks were colored with an overlay on the monitor. Enormously popular, the game spawned many variations.

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca)
Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w
