It’s officially called Windows XT, but I prefer to call it “Copyright Infringement.”
Take Breakout – a game you didn’t make. Then add graphics, which you also didn’t make. Then release it as your own game. Voila, you’re a freeware game developer.
Actually, it doesn’t work that easy, because the charade is paper thin. Everyone can see how flimsy the premise and execution of your game is and you should be ashamed of yourself.
But it’s not all about why the game was made. It’s also about the game itself. It’s not actually all that good. The ball goes pretty much where it wants, though it is more controllable than other dodgy Breakout games, which it does have in its favour.
Other than that, its just plain flaccid. The graphics are ripped right off your desktop and even, rather anachronistically, there are Winamp icons in there as well. The good points are few, such as the GIANT paddle you can get, but the bad points overwhelm, such as the poor graphics, slow gameplay and the fact you can move the paddle right off the screen.
It's just a bad Arkanoid. The only difference is that instead of fully colored boxes to break, you break windows icons. The sound effects are annoying and the ball is badly coded. Giving it a try is NOT recommended.
