About

Brick Attack is a 1998 Breakout-style arcade game for PowerPC Macs by Dan Zink. The player paddles a ball through thirty top-down levels, smashing bricks of varying durability and snagging falling letter prizes for power-ups, with five levels free and the remaining twenty-five unlocked by registering the shareware.Thirty Levels of BricksEach stage opens with the level name flashing across the screen before its brick layout assembles. Brick toughness varies from one-hit fillers to multi-hit anchors, so the field clears unevenly and forces the player to chase rebounds across the playfield.Letter-Prize Power-UpsDefeated bricks occasionally drop falling letters that the paddle can catch. Each letter triggers a specific power-up, in the tradition of late-1990s Breakout/Arkanoid clones, encouraging risky paddle positioning to grab modifiers mid-volley.Shareware GatingLevels one through five ship unlocked, with the remaining twenty-five locked behind a registration code. That five-free / twenty-five-paid split was a common late-90s Mac shareware arrangement, providing enough content to demonstrate the game while reserving most of the value for buyers.System RequirementsBrick Attack is PowerPC-only and targets System 7.0 through Mac OS 9. It expects a thousands-of-colors display at 640x480 and depends on Apple's DrawSprocket 1.1.2 (or higher) game library for full-screen rendering.
