Color TV Game Block Kuzushi

Summary

Following Atari’s success Breakout (1976), the Color TV Game Block Kuzushi is the fourth and last Color TV game. In this kind of skill game, blocks are smashed using a ball. Like in Pong, the ball is played with a movable racket. On the other side of the field, he encounters blocks that are destroyed by the impact and throw the ball back towards the bat. The game ends when all bricks are gone or all available balls are spent. The game concept is not only brought to the market by Nintendo, but also in countless other variants by other companies, partly also under the name Block Kuzushi.

The Nintendo system, whose conception involves Mario inventor Shigeru Miyamoto, contains six different game variants, all of which are only playable in single-player mode.
