DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
Brickout! was an Intellivision version of the Atari arcade and video game Breakout. It was intended for the Triple Action cartridge, which was originally to have included five arcade-type games. Brickout! was shelved for fear of legal action from Atari; such fears also killed the original version of Astrosmash, which was an Asteroids-like game.
The stand-alone version of the game was popular with the Mattel Electronics programmers. It finally had its commercial release on the Intellivision Lives! CD-ROM in December 1998.
