In 1972, when video games were still very new and relatively unknown, a new game took the world by storm. A simple simulation of tennis using two-dimensional graphics, minimal sounds, and extremely basic controls, Pong became the first arcade game to achieve widespread popularity and is credited as the genesis of the modern video game industry. Today, the game has been played, remade, spun-off, and referenced innumerable times and it remains, to many, the single most identifiable and recognizable game in the history of video games. A brilliant spinoff was Breakout, which ran with one paddle and a ball and could be played with one player.
Use custom blocks to implement your own version of Breakout . Who knew back then that this would be the start of a $25B industry ?
