Personal review

Alleyway was a launch game for the Gameboy in Japan. It's an average breakout-clone. Except a bonus round after three standard rounds, the game lacks extra features or fresh ideas.

Official description

Mario must destroy a brick wall, but he isn't going to go after it with a hammer. Instead, Mario will pilot a paddle and bounce a ball off of the wall. Every time the ball hits a brick, the brick will disappear. As the ball begins to eliminate more and more bricks, it begins to move faster, and once all of the bricks are eliminated a new level appears. As the game progresses, the formation will change from a simple rectangle to more complex patterns that start moving. In some of the bonus stages, the bricks are arranged to form classic Nintendo characters. It's up to you to help Mario destroy the bricks and keep the ball moving in ALLEYWAY.
