(Atari 50)
Out of the three variants (Cavity Breakout which has pockets where extra balls can be released, Double Breakout with two paddle rows and starting with two balls, and Progressive Breakout where over time the rows of blocks lower towards the paddle in an endless challenge) Progressive Breakout was probably my favorite - it is the only one that feels really dynamic. It's clear how the rows descending towards you was an inspiration for games like Space Invaders. Overall breakout is breakout, but there's much better versions out there.
