Hyperball

Hyperball is a clone of the 1986 arcade game Arkanoid created for the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro.

Hyperball follows the Breakout gameplay of a controllable bat used to keep a bouncing ball on screen and destroying blocks.

The game was developed by Steve Parkinson from his home in Colchester, UK and took nearly two years to complete.

Electron User gave the "Golden Game" title to the Play It Again Sam 13 compilation containing Hyperball with an overall score for the collection of 9/10.

Hyperball was given only praise in the review (although its high level of difficulty was noted) with reviewer Jon Revis concluding "Hyperball is one of the biggest and best versions of Breakout on the Electron, and a most worthy inclusion on this compilation".
