Breakin

About this game

Breakin is a fairly typical Arkanoid clone that follows the familiar pattern established by its more famous forerunner. You have to move your paddle to bounce the ball and break the bricks. There are powerups that you can collect (like sticky paddle, multiple balls, level skip, power ball, etc) and enemies that will change the trajectory of the ball when hit. The levels are full of colorful bricks to break. Breakin (often referred to as Breakin DOS) is a lesser-known DOS-based game from the 1990s. It is primarily a puzzle or action-based game, although information about it is quite limited, as it wasnt a mainstream title. The game appears to be one of many small or indie titles released during the early days of PC gaming, often with simple mechanics and sometimes using ASCII or basic graphics due to the limitations of the time. Here’s a general idea based on the name and similar titles from the era: Breakin (DOS Game) Overview: Genre: Puzzle / Action (or Rhythm) Platform: DOS Release Year: Likely early to mid-1990s Gameplay: Based on the name "Breakin", the game might have a theme inspired by breaking or destroying objects or obstacles in some form, similar to the "Breakout" genre. Alternatively, it could be referring to "breaking" in a different context, such as breaking codes or puzzles. There’s a possibility that Breakin could have involved elements of: Puzzle Solving: The player might need to break through a series of challenges, such as codes, locked doors, or obstacles that need a specific strategy to overcome. Rhythm or Dance: Given the breakin’ name (often associated with breakdancing or "breaking" in street culture), its also possible that the game had a rhythm component where players timed actions to the beat of music, similar to rhythm games that emerged later. Action or Combat: There could also have been an action-based gameplay mechanic where the character had to break through barriers or defeat enemies. This would have been typical of many arcade-style DOS games of that era.
