DX-Ball is an incredibly fun and addicting game that is sure to keep you entertained for hours. The game has a simple concept – move a paddle at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball and make it destroy different kinds of bricks. You can catch power-ups to duplicate your ball, turn it into a fireball, increase its speed, or make your paddle wider, and you have to avoid power-downs that increase the difficulty of the game. The game is easy to learn and has a great replay value, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and challenging game.

Breakout is one of the oldest and most popular arcade games ever developed. It’s the renowned game in which you use a movable paddle to bounce a ball upward and destroyed all kinds of brick structures.

Initially developed by Atari, it has become a symbol for arcade games, next to well-known names like Pong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Mario, or Donkey Kong. Due to its popularity, many remakes and variants of this game have been created over time. DX-Ball is one of those remakes. It’s also one of the oldest and most downloaded as well. I remember my father-in-law playing DX-Ball many years ago, on a Windows 95 system. Unfortunately, the game still looks quite the same today, after all these years. Its graphics are highly outdated and haven’t been improved since probably the times when this game was created. The main menu also looks quite unintuitive and rather lackluster and unpolished. more
