Name of this old game?????????

Post by Carol P. »

OLD GAME ???NAME??? All I remember about this game is that it has about eight columns, and a colored block (?) would travel across the top of these columns and then drop. When four(?) of the same color would be connected, they would disappear. You could also drop a bomb(?) into a column to remove some of the blocks. The backround picture would change after reaching a certain score. I can only remember that one picture was Russia(snowy) one was San Francisco. We had this on our old computer and I have no idea what it was called. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

The game you’re looking for sounds like “Breakthru”. It is available for platforms: PC, NES, Super Nintendo, Game Boy and Gameboy Advance.

Had a hard time getting a picture for you to see. Go to link below and click on “more screens” to see more screenshots:

The shareware demo is available for download here:

The concept of the game is similar to the popular windows game called "Same" except the bricks are smaller and it has all sorts of special items like bombs, firecrakers etc to remove bricks such that all the brick would be removed all the end. Behind the bricks are background of locations of different countries. One of the background is the Berlin Wall. The background changes after every certain rounds of bricks cleared, think was every 2 rounds same picture.
