Developed by Morning Star Multimedia and published by Majesco, Super Breakout! arrived on the Game Boy Color in 1998 as an action game.

It belongs to the GBC's earliest wave of games. Other notable GBC releases from 1998 include Wario Land II, Pokémon Trading Card Game and Bomberman Quest.

It is part of the Breakout series. The series also appears on other systems with Breakout (2600) and Super Breakout (Game Boy). Morning Star Multimedia also made Centipede, 10 Pin Bowling and NASCAR Challenge for the GBC.

Super Breakout! supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you prefer slow, thoughtful games over reflex tests

What playing Super Breakout! is like

Action games test reflexes and nerve. Expect fast enemies, tight controls and stages you clear by reacting quickly and learning enemy patterns.

Tip for newcomers: Retro action games are often short but tough. Treat early deaths as practice runs; every attempt teaches you where the next threat comes from.
