Alleway

This one is also a classic, it was released back in 1990 for the gameboy and served me many good hours of fun since then. Well, since i got it. Somewhere around 1995? Dunno anymre :F
It's practically just a Breakout clone, but who cares, it's fun. Sometimes to easy, and you can't play it, like, FOREVER, but it keeps you busy for the better part of an hour, then you don't want to play anymore, but days later you pick it up again, and so on.
FOR YEARS.
Interesting fact: later levels (ore just the bonus levels? wha, i can't remember D:) are always shaped like Nintendo characters. Sometimes you have to plow through a mario, or block away a koopa. Funny fan service.

RATING: 7/10

    I miss the older games. They had a higher replay value then these days.

    Breakout clones are so addicting. They put in one as a mini-game in 3D Dot Game Heroes and it's more fun than the actual game.
