Ballarena Sisteme (3FR Team)1990This is a one or two players simultaneous variant of breakout for Acorn 32-bit computers (Archimedes or BBC A3000). The paddle can move on a circular path that encompasses the central playfield of rather free-form objects (not just square bricks). The playfield is borderless leaving the paddle or paddles (in two-player) as the only thing(s) to prevent the balls from leaving the playfield (which results in a loss of life, of which are limited). The central objects of course disappear after deflecting a ball when collided with. This is for points. Some bricks reveal powerups much like Arkanoid (catch, laser bolts, bonus points, breakthrough, multiball, and others). And various monsters will be around in the playfield. These monsters are immune to the balls and deflect them away from bricks. However, paddle can destroy them when they stray towards the outer circle. And they can be shot. Clearing all blocks from the screen leads to progression to the next stage. Every forth stage is a bonus stage that begins with the laser powerup enables and no bricks. Instead, monsters arrive from the center of the screen and proceed outward (similar to Gyruss). Accuracy counts. labelimagesubject
