Now here's a walk down memory lane. Modeled after the hugely popular MegaBall for the Amiga, this game maintains not only the look and feel of the original breakout style of game but similar sounds as well. This freeware download is easy to play, but don't expect to be wowed by graphics or fancy features--this is nostalgia, pure and simple. For a more up-to-date brick-smashing game, you'd be best to look elsewhere. However, DX-Ball is small, stable, and free. What more could you want? Bring back the '80s and break out DX-Ball.Publisher's Description
From BlitWise Productions:
DX-Ball is a brick-breaking game similar to MegaBall on the Amiga computer.

"A great version of an old classic."
Version: DX-Ball 1.09
Pros
It's free, fun, and gives an entertaining way to spend a few minutes. My brothers and I love to compete for high scores.
Cons
Nothing with the game, but I hate this download manager thing that cnet makes you use.
Summary
Be sure to look up the "cheats" that let you edit levels and turn on music. I think it's just the ctrl-F# buttons.

"Out of style"
Version: DX-Ball 1.09
Pros
Easy Download

It is not very advanced. Many arkanoid style games at least try to give it a modern play while looking old school but this program is too basic.
