ah....the visuals or graphics were your basic 80's kind, simple ah...I think the walls on each side were blue, layed out like a normal brick wall from top to bottom, at the early stagers moving inward on both sides slowly, then faster as the game got harder...ah....there was a challenge stage after you beat a group of alien guys and what would happen was you'ed collect random numbers and grenades...the grenades would help kill the aliens and I think maybe also slow the walls down for a little bit not sure...colors I remember were blue red and yellow. At the begining of the game the aliens would come down the screen moving from left to right randomly, you had things along there parth that was in they'er way and so they would move around them taking just a little longer to reach you if you did'nt shoot them in time you'd dye if they touched you, if they went pass you then they would exit the bottom of the screen and come out from the top again to do the same thing during thid time the wall are closing in, I think you had to kill all the bad guys befor you could move on to the next stage? thanks for trying to help...every now and then when I get board surfing the net I try and find this game If I were rich I'd put out a reward....again thanks in advance to those who have tryed to help...big love all.......Mr "T"

Mr T: The only game that comes to mind for me is Smash TV, but I don't think this is the game that you want. Do you have any more information? What were the visuals/graphics like?

Hi...have been looking for an old arcade game, some time between the mid 70's to the mid 80's. For the life of me I can not remember the name of it. From what I can remember it had a little man with a gun, he would colect things, stuff, he had a Machine gun, the bullets could bounce off the walls when trying to kill the bad guys and the two walls on each side left and right would slowly close in. you had to exit at the top or the bottom of the screen befor the walls closed in. Would love it if some one could help find what the name of this game is?

Jessica: There were a few games that made use of that basic formula, but two of the most popular would probably be Breakout and Arkanoid. Ihope that helps! Variations of this type of game can now be found online, oftentimes for free or for a low price.

I am trying to find an arcade game that I used to play in the 1990s. Basically it was a screen containing a coloured brick wall and you were a platform which moved left to right bouncing a ball off the platform and into the wall to destroy the bricks. Certain colours of bricks that you destroyed released tools for you to destroy the wall quicker if you caught it on your platform, ie extending the platform, giving you three balls at once or making the ball stick to the platform so you could choose your position. Once the wall was destroyed you moved to the next level which was another wall coloured gold I think and you had to get inside it to destroy it. That's as far as I got when I used to play it but I would love to play it again. Help me find it please!

Thomas: It sounds like you are describing Asteroids. Maybe you are thinking of one of the sequels that was released later on -- Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel, or Blasteroids -- or perhaps one of the countless unofficial clones that were developed. To find some of these games online, try the usual online video game sites like Spintop Games, Gamehouse, iWin, Big Fish Games, Yahoo! Games, and MSN Zone.

hi i remember playing a arcade game but don't remember the name of it was woundering if you can recall the name by a discription of the game and were i can find it online plus do they make it in a pc format i can download. it was kind of a offshute of asteriods. you had a space ship in the middle of screen surounded by ring barriers this space ship would rotate and shoot fire ball out at your ship. your ship looked basicly simple like the letter A and you would shoot at the barriers and break the rings to get at this ship and destroy it. you could fly your ship accross the screen to aviod the other ship that would fire at you.when you destoryed the ship in the middle of the rings it would blow up like a super nova. i can't remember the name of this game or have seen it since. i use to play it when i was a kid in the later yrs of the 70's. can you help me out on this pls.

I'm trying to find an old arcade game but I dont remember the name of it. Can you help? I think it was a pirate or treasure game where every level was a new page in a book. When you passed the board the page turned and you started the next board? Any ideas?
