PRODUCTION HISTORY:
Brickout! was an Intellivision version of the Atari arcade and video game Breakout. It was intended for the Triple Action cartridge, which was originally to have included five arcade-type games. Brickout! was shelved for fear of legal action from Atari; such fears also killed the original version of Astrosmash, which was an Asteroids-like game.

The stand-alone version of the game was popular with the Mattel Electronics programmers. It finally had its commercial release on the Intellivision Lives! CD-ROM in December 1998.
