Is it still worth playing?
Designed by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow and prototyped with discrete logic chips by Steve Wozniak, this 1976 arcade action game has eight rows of bricks lining the top of the screen. There are two rows each of yellow, green, orange and red from the bottom up. With a single ball, the player knocks down as many bricks as possible by bouncing it off the walls and the paddle below, and a turn is lost when the paddle misses the rebound. There are three turns to clear two screens. Yellow bricks earn one point, green three, orange five and red seven. The paddle shrinks to half its size after the ball breaks through the red row and touches the upper wall, and the ball speeds up at set intervals. A ball, a paddle and a wall of bricks are still all it takes.
