Breakout clones; get ‘em while they last

by Jake Gaecke on Sep 18, 2008 at 11:09 PM

BreakClassic removed by AtariIt appears that Atari’s legal department has insisted that Apple remove at least three Breakout and Pong clone games from the App Store, according to Touch Arcade.

The first games to go will be BreakClassic and BreakTouch 3D, which are both very similar to Atari’s Breakout. Next up is Super Pong 2 which you can likely guess is a Pong clone.

Some very unfortunate news, I have been asked to remove SuperPong 2 from the App Store at the request of Atari Interactive due to infringements against the pong and breakout copyrights.

If you remember the game Tris at the App Store, then this should sound all too familiar. These developers don’t have the money to take Atari to court, so these apps will be leaving us soon. But, as of the writing of this article, they are still available. If you want any of these, get them while they last.
